Yom Kippur starts tonight

[rjamz]

Fellow Members of the Tribe, I hope everyone has an easy fast, if you're fasting!

I hate Yom Kippur. Worst. Holiday. Ever.

Nope, that's next week. This is where we don't eat or drink for 25 hours.

Jews have fun holidays. Except this one

Boooooo!

And to anyone who I pissed off or whatever this pat year, this is my official apology. Please forgive me

You start at your bar/bat mitzvah. Pregnant people don't have to fast. You're not allowed to fast if it would be dangerous to you in any wau

I haven't fasted in a few years because I was pregnant and then nursing. This year I have no excuse.

But, I love break fast. We do bagels with lox, white fish, various cream cheeses, blintzes, and kugel. Yum!

I hope all that participate have an easy and meaningful fast.

Wishing you an easy fast, ladies!

Is now the time to confess that as a JBA, I do not fast yet eagerly participate in breaking said fast annually? No?

Calling all Jews: please watch this rjamz

I'm obviously not fasting since I'm not Jewish, but I am going to our friends break fast tomorrow evening. Best of both worlds!!!

The table of bagels! I am so hungry after watching this.

I'm not Jewish, nor am I 80, but man do I love whitefish spread!

Brian Lehrer is doing an interesting program now about Yiddish, its roots, perceptions, and usage in mainstream English.

I confess I listen to WAAAY too much NPR.

Nope. That's the worst part. I could deal with no food, it's water and coffee I miss

It is awful, but at least it is one day a year.

I feel like the hardest part will be feeding Tyler and not stealing his food. And not having coffee.

I spoke with my grandma today rjamz :-). Due to her diabetes she is not fasting and is annoyed at my grandfather because he takes meds that require food so he's skipping his meds and "that's just stupid". He's a good convert :-)They are being honored tonight by getting to open "the ark" arch?

[jenbelle]

Good luck ladies!!!!

Pre-baby I would spend the day in temple and napping. Now I will be chasing Ari around all day longggggggg. I will probably go out and run errands at some point to take my mind off of the hunger. The day just sucks.

True, but at least they can eat in the early morning and after sundown. I like their style.
