Fasting

There's a little under 2 hours left of Tisha B'Av, the fast day that commemorates the destruction of both Jewish Temples and exiles from Jerusalem, as well as other tragedies in Jewish history, such as the Holocaust. Rather than simply fasting, I tried to connect more to the Jewish community and to feel the loss incurred bythese events. I have felt very out of touch with Judaism lately, and I am trying to find my way back. As much as I cannot understand why these things happened, I can appreciate that we as a people and culture are still alive, and it is important for us to embrace our legacy for it to continue.
