Prayer and Fasting During the Days of Awe
The Significance of Prayer and Fasting in the Days of Awe I want to express gratitude to the Lord for each of you who have chosen to dedicate this time during the Jewish high holy days to fast and pray with us. Unlike the Gregorian calendar’s New Year, which begins in January and is often celebrated with festivities, the Jewish calendar starts in the fall with Yom Kippur.
