קַדְּשׁוּ־צוֹם֙ קִרְא֣וּ עֲצָרָ֔ה אִסְפ֣וּ זְקֵנִ֗ים כֹּ֚ל יֹשְׁבֵ֣י הָאָ֔רֶץ בֵּ֖ית יְהוָ֣ה אֱלֹהֵיכֶ֑ם וְזַעֲק֖וּ אֶל־יְהוָֽה׃
Maklumkanlah puasa, serukanlah pertemuan raya, kumpulkanlah para tua-tua dan semua penduduk negeri ke Bait Yang Mahakekal, Allahmu, lalu berserulah kepada Yang Mahakekal.
Jerusalem Talmud Taanit
HALAKHAH: Rebbi Ze`ira in the name of Rav Jeremiah: He who does work on a public fast-day is like one who does work on the Day of Atonement. What is the reason? Sanctify a fast-day, call an assembly188Joel2:15.. But was it not stated, the night is permitted but the day forbidden189Babli 14a.? Rebbi Ze`ira said, Abba bar Jeremiah190In the Babli 13b: Rav Jeremiah bar Abba. confirmed it; assemble the people191Joel2:16., at the time of the popular assembly.
