Saturday is Yom Kipur.

Yom Kipur is the Jewish day of atonement. We (as in anyone jewish who wants, or anyone jewish who's religious) fast on this day. As in, No Food, AND No drink. (unlike the muslims who are not allowed to eat but may drink, and eat only in the eve of rammadan. I may be mistaken though..)

The reason for the fasting is to cleanse ourselves. From sins, from spiritual and physical dirt. We ask forgiveness from anyone we may have hurt in the passing year and pledge to try and be better people. (fat chance of that.. ;)

Plus it's really good for the figure.. :P

Since I don't know any of you, I don't really need to ask your forgiveness, but if anyone I do know comes by, I'm sorry for any wrong doings, and wish you a pure new year of good deeds and happy thoughts!
