2 When the community declares a fast for some problem that they encounter, for the Monday-Thursday-Monday fasts after Passover and Sukkot that are done communally in Ashkenazi places, the early authorities have the practice that the leader says Anenu between the blessings for redemption and healing and they read "Moses sought the favor..." Rema: However, if a fast was set for Monday and Thursday, this does not supersede the regular reading of the parsha in the morning. Rather, in the mornig they read the normal parsha and in the afternoon, they read "Moses sought the favor..." The exception is the Monday-Thursday-Monday fasts that happen after Passover and Sukkot, on which we read "Moses sought the favor" in the morning and the evening. Such is the practice. [End of Rem"a] There are those who expressed dismay at this practice and challenged it. the Ros"h answered the change. Therefore, we follow the early authorities. However, in places where they declare a fast for no reason just in order to cause repentance, there are those who treat it like a communal fast with respect to Anenu between redemption and healing and the Torah reading and there are those who treat it like an individual fast, where even the leader only says Anenu during the "Listen to our prayers" section, and no Torah is read.
