Tuesday at 6pm, I’ll begin a day-long fast as part of the Jewish Day of Atonement. Every year at about this time, I feel such apprehension. It seems so prohibitive. Will I make it through? And I often wonder at the start of it, what’s the point. Will it help me find serenity or figure out the meaning of life. Eventually, I just surrender, and somehow, it’s always worth it.
