Erev Yom Kippur

The fast begins at 6:30 pm and goes until 8:00 pm on Saturday night. The goal of the fast is to direct your attention to the process of inner work—and it is that work of transforming ourselves, not the fast, that is the main issue for Yom Kippur. If the fast distracts you from repentance and inner transformation, stop fasting and pay attention to the inner work, please!
