I loved the conclusion but I really think that by the time you are over with the contract, you will only be skin and bones Tzippy...

I think when we take the emotion out of the situation(s) we make better decisions! So happy for you the food was not all that great! It makes success a lot easier! I agree with you on your thoughts regarding God! sam

You are wonderful!
You rock! You are so right. The Jewish community believes that the act of fasting is to allow the spirit of God, to reveal himself to them. It is their belief that by fasting for one day, their bodies can purge itself from all evil and negativity. All they do is pray on the day of fasting. I found an article you might enjoy reading and will help you with some of your questions. If they were upset with you. don't worry! The next fasting, they will be asking God, to help them no to judge! Good for you! :) Here is the article...www.chacha.com/question/why-do-jews-fast-for-yom-kippur

I have tried to cultivate the emotionally detached observer's position for a long time (it is one that one learns/acquires almost by osmosis in my field of study), but it is difficult to maintain under all circumstances.
For example, you and my other readers have probably noticed that I don't show much detachment in discussing Islam, LOL. It is just to alien to everything I believe in, though I don't belive in much...
And as to pork, several of my Jewish friends love their bacon and eggs...

You are keeping those negative emotions properly in perspective.
