Today is one of the most religious days of the year in the Jewish religion, and to atone for your sins, one is supposed to restrain from eating or drinking all day until dinner. I am clearly not without sins, but I don't fast. I become crabby and unpleasant if I don't eat for a few hours; a day without eating would cause me to be so rude that I would have more sins to atone for.
I celebrate what I call Yom Kippur-Ish. I make resolutions about being a kinder, gentler me to my family, friends and to the planet. I do all this while eating and drinking. To all my friends that are fasting, "Have an easy fast!". To everyone, "May this year be wonderful and filled with joy!"
