thnx perv. hv posted to tony
got some info. on fasting in other religions
Yom Kippur
Level: Basic
Yom Kippur atones only for sins between man and G-d, not for sins against
another person. To atone for sins against another person, you must first
seek reconciliation with that person, righting the wrongs you committed
against them if possible. That must all be done before Yom Kippur.
Yom Kippur is a complete Sabbath; no work can be performed on that day. It
is well-known that you are supposed to refrain from eating and drinking
(even water) on Yom Kippur. It is a complete, 25-hour fast beginning before
sunset on the evening before Yom Kippur and ending after nightfall on the
day of Yom Kippur. The Talmud also specifies additional restrictions that
are less well-known: washing and bathing, anointing one's body (with
cosmetics, deodorants, etc.), wearing leather shoes (Orthodox Jews routinely
wear canvas sneakers under their dress clothes on Yom Kippur), and engaging
in sexual relations are all prohibited on Yom Kippur.
For details visit http://www.jewfaq.org/holiday4.htm
In the Book of Esther (4:16), Esther agreed to see the King uninvited, and
asked the Jewish people to fast for three days beforehand. Esther called for
a fast, knowing that through soul- searching the Jews would forge a
spiritual connection necessary to make her mission successful. And it paid
off, for indeed the Almighty sees and hears everyone at their time of need.
