The Charlotte Jewish News - September 2013 - Page 35 Cheering the Tummy After Atoning: Breaking the Yom Kippur Fast By Jamie Geller (JTA) - Yom Kippur, the most somber day of the Jewish year, is also ealled the Day of Atonement and reminds us that we are all ae- eountable for our aetions. The eon- eept of New Year’s resolutions that mark our seeular New Year’s Day eomes from the Jewish idea of re- pentanee at the start of a new year. As we refleet on the mistakes we’ve made over the past year, we resolve to be better people. One el ement of repentanee is fasting, so Jews are not permitted to eat or drink on Yom Kippur. But boy do we prepare ourselves for the fast! We serve full, balaneed meals - light on the salt and thirst-indueing spiees - just before the fast. When it’s over, we give thanks and dig in onee again. The post-Yom Kippur meal may not eontain every dish you fantasized about during the fast, but it’s sure to be satisfying. Smoked Salmon Omelet This reeipe only makes one omelet beeause you really ean’t make more than one at a time. If you are serving several for bruneh, make them all beforehand and keep them whole.

Reeognizing that life is about purpose brings out the best in us, in our produetivity, in our eare for others and how we deal with life’s ehallenges. Whieh this brings us to our new year resolution. We resolve to make our world a better and kinder plaee. We aspire to have a better relationship with God by thanking God daily for the bless ings we have and praying for those in need.
