I love this community, but does anyone know of any really good Jewish communities where people update often? I will of course still stay active here, though

25 Hour fast straight through, I did a lot of study about Yom Kippur, taking a nap..., that helps with strength and its all good focus time. :-)

25 hours straight through no problem, as I've been doing since my bat mitzvah and will do for the rest of my life. Spent most of the day in the synagogue having the time of my life--the singing and the prayers and the togetherness and the tears and the closeness and the holiness! When the Torah readings got boring I whipped out Aryeh Kaplan and read about Yom Kippur, G-d, and all that good stuff. In the break between Mussaf and Mincha I went to a friends' house and we sat around talking and laughing.

Call me crazy, but Yom Kippur is my favorite holiday.

My first time fasting! I did did water, but nothing else. I made it for 25 hours myself. I must say, it was pretty meaningful.

Good luck next year!
