Jews on WF - Yom Kippur

I'm off from school AND my conversions are up.

So not only did the jews get me a day off but I also found out that they are the ones fucking up my conversion rates on the days where they are allowed to surf.
 


Hannah: Twilight to twilight, actually (no Stephanie Meyer reference intended)... Also, technically not a "happy" day. Some of the more extremely ultra orthodox will beat themselves with willow switches and swing live chickens about the place (I'm not making this shit up. Look up the "Kapparot" ritual (It should be noted that swinging a bucket of KFC around your head does not count.)), and then all the priests will do the Spock thing for people during the Holy of Holies.
It's been about a decade since I lost my faith in the love of god, so I may have missed some of the finer details of the synagogue services.

The fun begins at the end where after telling god how sorry you've been for last year all day long, you then go and get absolutely wasted, stuff your face, supposedly read yourself some Mishna or Talmud and then, if you happen to be a chicken-swinger, go have sex with the missus through a hole in a sheet.
 
So , out of curiosity , those of you who are Jews, are you active , or do you just celebrate the holidays and such (I don't know how to describe it , but it'd be like Christians who only go to church on Easter & Christmas).

Just curious.
 
1. No eating and drinking
2. No wearing of leather shoes
3. No bathing or washing
4. No anointing oneself with perfumes or lotions
5. No marital relations

You lost me at number 2 and 5. I'll just continue to worship the Devil.

Happy Yom Kippur!

#2 - Back in the days Leather shoes where a symbol of luxury and Yom Kippur is day of humility before G-d.
#5 - On Yom Kippur Jews are supposed to be compared to angels and angles do not have worldly desires like sex.

I just broke the Yom Kippur fast by eating a bacon cheeseburger. Is that bad?
Just kidding!

I did manage 3 out of the 5 today.....

I also heard that we have until Sukkot to be forgiven so I procrastinated a little today.:1bluewinky:

Shana Tova v Gmar Chetima Tova
 
I have an Arab friend who fasts like this every day for awhile, seems like a month or so. Much respect for you guys who are disciplined enough in your religious views to accomplish stuff like that, I'd be hard pressed to do it myself.
