Re: Blase! and...a fast coming up.

Gosh, Ruthie - good luck with your fast. I'm not sure I'd have the stamina

to fast for 25 hours! I look forward to hearing how you got on, and will

keep my fingers crossed for a break in the weather (though just over your

house, of course )

Thanks Vicki; I should point out that no one is meant to be in

life-threatening danger on *any* fast in our calendar. It has

happened in the past, particularly in Israel, when the weather has

been unusually hot, that the Rabbis have issued an edict stating that

*everyone MUST drink* over the fast. Eating is not necessary!

How nice to have aircon inside - mind you it sounds like you'll need

it if it's going to be the scorching weekend promised. Good luck with

the fast - I can't imagine not even drinking water - I'm drinking tons

of it at the moment, so especially now, would really notice

abstaining.
