Ugh.....You know, fasting is really not my thing. Yesterday was Yom Kippur, which ranks under the Top 3 Most Important Holidays in The Jewish Calendar. It also probably ranks number one under Top 2 Most Important Fasts. It is the day that G-d signs the final verdict and will decide whether we will live or die in the coming year.
What does this all have to do with me? I'm not 13 yet, I don't have to fast, why the hell do I care? Ah, but here is the snag: I do have to fast. You see, my father made up some crazy custom that I should fast three fasts before my Bar Mitzvah, "to get some practice." So I was stuck in our synagogue all day (and I mean this literally,) praying, hungry and thirsty.
Also, listen to the Rosh Hashana Girl at http://roshhashanahgirl.com/. Totally weird: a soft rock version about Rosh Hashana. Wacko.
