To all my friends here - I will be observing the holiest day of the Jewish year beginning this evening. It is Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement. This day includes complete fasting from food, beverage, and other pleasures until sunset tomorrow. To all those of the Jewish faith, I wish you an easy fast. G'mar Hatima Tova.
I hope the day has been a good and meaningful one, for all who observe. May you all be inscribed in the Book of Life, for a good year!
