I started my fast
The only one in the house
Someone made popcorn
(Tomorrow is going to utterly suck!)

I’m not Jewish although I married a Jewish woman and agreed that our kids would be raised in the faith. I’ve been told I look more Jewish than the rest of my family. I make the challah for bar and bat mitzvahs and for Friday evening services. Which is all a long way to say this … the people who made the popcorn need to seriously reconsider something. What that something is I’m not willing to say at the moment, but I respect that you take the fasting seriously.

I have a post about why set for tomorrow. Yom Kippur never goes well because the food tomorrow night is geared toward things that I don’t like. Subway will be my savior.

The Jewish side of my family typically does the Chinese food thing when it’s time to break the fast. Fortunately, tomorrow we’ll be at Chicago Fire — an excellent pizza place.

Mine makes a quiche or casserole, neither of which I like because I hate tuna. I might push for Chinese food. Though last time I did that, I overindulged and gave myself a really bad stomach ache.

Not popcorn…that’s not right. Hang in their Charles.

Thanks. It’s not a great way to start. 20.5 hours to go. I think.

Maybe try to get some sleep, it will at least help part of the time go by, that is unless hunger keeps you awake.

I’m going to try to sleep for as long as the toddler lets me.

I’m confused. Why do you have to fast?
LikeLike
Simple answer: Because I’m Jewish.
Full answer: Yom Kippur is the Day of Atonement. We fast for a full day (sundown to sundown) to repent for the sins we committed over the year. It’s to help us focus and rethink our previous actions in order to improve for the following year. Basically, don’t eat, pray, and think about the screw ups you’ve done. Or zone out on Legend of Zelda like I’m going to do.

POPCORN.
I wish you the best of luck with that, knowing there is popcorn involved.

Thanks. Only the toddler will be able to get away with such actions. The adults will get things thrown at them if they come near me with food.

Oh yes…I’ve fasted in the past, and when there’s not collaboration..it’s difficult, can you like go for a walk? How long will your fast be by the way?
LikeLike
It’s sundown to sundown, so I have about 10 hours to go. The problem with dinner is that my family loves quiche and casseroles. I can’t even stand the smell of those things. I’m the only one fasting here too, but still being the odd man out of the favorite foods, I have to fend for myself. Trying to decide between Subway or Chinese food.
LikeLike
Ah…I’d go for the Chinese personally…
LikeLike
I’m thinking that way only because that would be in walking distance. The only downside is that I overindulge in Chinese food. It isn’t a good idea on an empty stomach.
LikeLike
Very true, but neither is Subway from my little experience with it.

Subway was what I used in college to break the fast because the cafeterias closed before the sun went down. The college wasn’t very aware of how non-Christian religions worked. For example, their Passover meal was a big bowl of spaghetti, which is a no-no on Passover.
LikeLike
I’m presuming because of the sauce? I also don’t know why you couldn’t eat spaghetti (unless it’s the sauce) but you can eat Subway.
LikeLike
Passover diet restrictions is that you can’t eat any leavened bread. Leavened bread is any food made from grain and allowed to ferment or ‘rise’. There are certain cooking conditions to make bread unleavened, which is where kosher for Passover food comes from. The pasta one would normally find has not been cooked under these conditions, so we can’t eat it.
The confusion might be that Passover is a different holiday with different restrictions. Yom Kippur (the holiday currently going on) is a single day of fasting. Passover (occurring in March/April) is an 8 day period of a dietary restriction. I’m having trouble explaining because I’m already rather hungry.

Sorry about that…I’d just never considered pasta as leavened or fermented…I’ll go look at the dietary restrictions for Yom Kippur and Passover. 😉
