Rossi,
sincerely,
My first Yom Kippur fast was successful and cleansing. I think that it is good to take conscious time but that
it really is all about your attitude. First of all, a day is not a long time to go without eating (or drinking). However,
I just let my attention switch directly from hunger, when it inevitably strikes me, to other aspects of my life that feel
important to me, my valuable relationships in this case. As a result, I feel very grounded in who I am and confident in my
ability to recognize that I trust in myself to make good decisions that guide me accordingly.
Also, it makes a difference to have the support of over 5 million Jews in the United States, let alone the
13 million who could be attending to the same tradition. This characterizes the practice of observance
in that everything that a Jew does on the individual level runs much more deeply than that individual,
It's very grounding, if you ask me.
sincerely,
rossi
