From Yom Kippur to Today: The Role of Fasting in Jewish Life (Acharei Mos)
$20.00Price
Fasting is a cornerstone of Jewish spiritual life, shaping repentance, self-refinement, and communal awareness. From Yom Kippur to personal fasts, abstaining from food and drink is not punishment but a tool to quiet the body, sharpen the heart, and draw closer to G‑d. While a fast emphasizes physical abstention, Jewish tradition stresses inner work—reflection, humility, and teshuvah—showing that even when fasting is not possible, one can engage deeply through prayer, introspection, and acts of self-restraint.
