May you all be written into the book of life for the coming year

 

Have a great Yom Kippur!

 

tiny

And may you all have an easy fast.

yeah. easy fast.... nothing really great about yom kippur.

 

Who is fasting?

 

Who is taking day off?

No fasting...... and of course working tomorrow....

I hope everyone made it through Atonement intact.

I do not fast, but I do not work either on Yom Kippur.

 

I am still of the believe that 1 day is not enough to atone for all of my sins

I'm basically a non-participant in religion, but I think that taking a day to do not much else but reflect on my behavior and actions over the past year is probably a good thing. It keeps me from developing bad habits. For instance, I've been very harsh on Matt, and have taken advantage of the fact that insulting him is too easy, and is really picking only the low hanging fruit, so I'll probably let up a little. There are a couple of other minor issues that I resolved to change, but all in all, I'm not really that much of a sinner. Mostly social stuff... a little lie here, a little provocation there. Nothing to worry too much about as long as I don't let it get out of hand, and as long as the good outweighs the bad. I try to be pragmatic about such things. Always better to be a Mensch than a sonofabitch.

Good advice, though I think it's more kosher as "better to be a mensch than a schmuck"
