Fast Days, The Three Weeks

Hi Rabbi, Does the Shabbat after Tisha B'Av have a special name and significance? Thanks and Shabbat Shalom.

Shalom aleichem Rabbi Lauffer. Thank you for answering my last question. If a 2 year-old niece wants to watch “Peppa Pig” on TV, is one allowed to put it on for her during the three weeks before Tisha b’Av, even though one will thereby hear the show’s music when he puts it on? Thanks a lot.

I heard that the “Three Weeks” is about to start. What are these three weeks all about? Thanks!

What is the Jewish fast day that I heard is observed next week? When is it and what is it about? Thank you.

Shalom aleichem Rabbi Lauffer. Thank you for answering my last question. Would it be permitted to play softball on Shiva Asar b’Tammuz in the rain, or would this be forbidden because one might come to inadvertently swallow raindrops? Also, I heard there was a difference between eating food cooked on Shabbos and food cooked on Yom Kippur - the food cooked on Yom Kippur being more stringent in this case. Would food cooked b’shogeig on Yom Kippur be permitted after the fast, or would it be forbidden forever? Thanks a lot.

I read that something called “The Three Weeks” is coming soon. What does this mean? I assume it refers to a special time in the Jewish calendar. Thanks

What does Jewish Law say about fasting when you take medications? (Such as today, Taanit Esther, March 20, '19.)
