#If the rabbis declare a half fast day until [[Chatzot]] according to Ashkenazim an individual can recite [[Anenu]] in Mincha Shemona Esrei.<ref>Rama 562:1 writes that Ahskenazim hold that even for an incomplete fast oen can recite anenu. Mishna Brurhah 562:48 references this Rama in discussing a fast that was accepted to fast until chatzot.</ref>According to Sephardim one can only recite anenu if one fasts the entire day.<ref>Shulchan Aruch 562:10-11 holds that a incomplete fast is not considered a fast with respect to saying anenu. Therefore if one only fasts until chatzot one should not recite anenu.</ref>
