. . . which means by the time you receive this I'll still be in the middle of my fast. [READER]( The Daily Reader I've taken today off to observe Yom Kippur, which means by the time you receive this I'll still be in the middle of my fast. I've written about [my affection for the holiest day]( on the Jewish calendar before, and my appreciation for this holiday hasn't waned. find myself drawn to opportunities for self-reflection more and more, especially when they're part of a ritual that connects me to a larger community. I cherish these moments, even when fasting guarantees I'll have to manage a monster headache from caffeine withdrawal before sundown. And I hope, no matter what your day or week looks like, that you can make some time for self-reflection too.
