Fasting on Yom Kippur

When I woke up last Saturday my father’s first words were: Did you fast? He knew I was going to the synagogue for Yom Kippur.  No, I did not fast. I felt bad at that moment. But, it was too late.  with my friend, I had to go for a breakfast at 7am on Saturday morning before going to the synagogue at 10am.  However, I kept my breakfast kosher. At least I could do that. But, for the next year I will keep fasting on the day of Yom Kippur. I just did not think and know about it.  We can always learn something.

But like the progressives for a long time needed to find space in the Catholic Church; now, it is time for the traditionalist to be able to do that, too.   There is a space for everyone in the place that is called the Catholic Church.
