No water for 25hrs? I could understand food, is this to atone for your sins?

maxine in ri,

As friends, a priest and rabbi were chatting...

Priest asks "Rabbi, have you ever eaten ham?" Rabbi answered "yes, yes I
have. It was excellent!"

After a moment, the Rabbi asks "Priest, have you ever had sex?" Priest
answered "why yes, yes I have, once, it was excellent!"

Rabbi asked "Better than ham?"

Israel cuts off water to Arab Druze towns on hottest day of year
IMEMC, July 4, 2009
The Israeli National Water Company has cut off the water supply to two
Arab Druze towns inside Israel. While water cut-offs by Israeli
authorities are common within the Occupied Territories of Gaza and the
West Bank, they are fairly unheard of within Israel itself.

....The water company makes no provision for the weather in their
decisions to cut off water in non-payment cases. Instead, they
happened to choose a day (July 1st) that is in the middle of a heat
wave, and is in fact the hottest day so far this year.

Ordinary citizens who pay their water fees each month are outraged
that the two municipalities have been completely cut off. Kamal Adwan,
a resident of one of the towns, told Israeli daily Yediot Ahranoth,
"It's not easy to get by without water in this heat. A few have water
reservoirs or wells near their houses, others just have to buy bottled
mineral water." Another resident, Samah Kayouif, told the Israeli
daily that the residents had received no notice of an impending water
cutoff, saying, "We woke up in the morning to find there was no water
in the pipes. How do you shower? Shave? Go to the bathroom? Never mind
just getting a drink. It's impossible to live like this, I had to go
to work, but my wife took the kids and drove to her parents' because
they have a rainwater reservoir."

I wouldn't mind the rest of it, but "no water" would do me in.

It's also not terribly healthy. No water that is. No food is no big
deal. I've fasted far longer than that in the distant past.

For one day? I don't think that is a huge deal, actually.

It really is no big deal. I just ended my fast tonight and while I was
fairly thirsty, I wasn't parched. I sing in the choir in our Temple and have
had some issues at Yom Kippur services with dry throat in the past but not
today.

All in all, a good fast.

It seems like the one day of the year that every single ad on TV is
about food.

I fasted the entire time and felt wonderful. Even read the haftorah
(selection from the prophets) about Jonah at the late afternoon service.
Did a little crying at the Yizkor (Memorial)service. I must have eaten
too much after the fast. Now I have to atone for heartburn. Will try
another prevacid before bed.

I hope everyone has been inscribed for a good year.

If it was unhealthy, we would not be required to do it. Anyone with
health issues is forbidden to fast. Jews have been fasting like this for
thousands of years.

If you are really trying to purify yourself and want to improve your
behavior, some discomfort is necessary.

=========================================
It does! I never could do that. I'd take my blood pressure pills one
at a time a couple of hours apart just for the water!

It's also impossible to act as cantor and sing all the services both
days without water!

First in the evening from 8 pm to 9:30 pm. Then the next morning 10
am till 12:30 pm when you - break for "not lunch". Then come back that
afternoon for 3 consecutive services with 5 minute bathroom breaks
that nobody needs!)

Finish about 6 pm and "break the fast" with a light potluck buffet (no
meat but lox, bagels, tuna salad, green salads, hummus, tabouleh,
heirloom tomatoes with feta cheese & basil, fresh fruit and sweets.

For some unfathomable reason, it's my favorite holiday!

Amen. We had a speaker at church whose topic that morning was something
that resonated with us all: "If your faith has not cost you anything,
it sure ain't worth much."

Sounds like a logical plan to me. Starve yourself and then stuff
yourself until your sick. No wonder I blew off religion when I
figured out santa was a fraud too.

Me, too. But the original statement was about health. I don't think
one day without water is that dangerous.
