Yom Kippur: The Ultimate Timeout
So, you wanna know when Yom Kippur ended in 2023 in NYC? Well, buckle up, because we're about to take a trip down memory lane. Or, more accurately, a trip back to September 25, 2023.
Yom Kippur: Not Your Average Monday
Let's be honest, Mondays are usually the worst. But Yom Kippur? That's a Monday on steroids. It's a day of atonement, fasting, and serious reflection. And if you were in NYC, it was probably a day of figuring out what to do with yourself for 25 hours.
Fun fact: Yom Kippur is sometimes called the "Jewish New Year" but that's actually Rosh Hashanah. Just wanted to clear that up.
When Did the Fasting Frenzy End?
Okay, so, the big question: when did this whole fasting thing wrap up? Well, if you were keeping kosher time in NYC, Yom Kippur ended on Monday, September 25, 2023, around 7:29 PM. That's when you could finally break that fast and enjoy a delicious, albeit probably greasy, meal.
Yom Kippur: A Time for Reflection (and Snack Planning)
While Yom Kippur is a solemn occasion, it's also a great time for self-reflection. Like, "Why did I eat that entire pizza yesterday?" or "Maybe I should stop hitting snooze." But let's be real, most of us were probably just thinking about food.
How to Survive Yom Kippur
- How to stay hydrated: Sip on water or clear liquids throughout the day.
- How to pass the time: Read, meditate, or binge-watch your favorite show.
- How to avoid food cravings: Distract yourself with activities and avoid food-related stimuli.
- How to prepare for breaking the fast: Have light and easily digestible food ready.
- How to appreciate the end of the fast: Enjoy a delicious and satisfying meal.
So, there you have it. Yom Kippur 2023 is officially in the rearview mirror. But remember, it's never too early to start planning your menu for next year's break-fast.
