very typical of a leftist like olbermann

You should have heard Beck today support Israel outright after Obama's speech at UN where he basically gave Israel away.
We all knew it and today he said it in public. Unbeleiveable.

I dont advise non-Jews to fast on the High Holiday of Yom Kippur unless they have the intention of converting to Judaism. The traditions and intentions for the fast must be done properly. I dont think non-Jews should attempt this. Without the proper intention the fast is not beneficial.

Although other religions have fasts the reason behind the fast is important. Yom Kippur fast is special and it should be respected.

Non-Jews are permitted to do acts of repentance in commemoration of Yom Kippur whether or not they fast. Even though I think non-Jews are actually judged on Rosh Hashana.

That is correct. For a Jew who does Teshuva the judgment of Rosh Hashana can be changed because it is sealed on Yom Kippur... These 10 days between those two holidays {actually 7 days} are meant for repentance. I have been doing this as I have taken off these 10 days from work {on holiday}.

If I choose to fast as Glen Beck suggested, I wouldn't be trying to observe the Jewish holiday.
I don't believe that his suggestion was made out of disrespect for the Jewish people.

Oh.. I wasn't implying that... I am sorry if that is what it seemed like... It is just that there are times like when Obama tries to observe the Jewish holidays which kind of mocks the real intention of the holiday... I know Beck would not do that.

I think Beck is doing very, very good and I praise him.

I was loosely paying attention to Beck this morning when he was talking about fasting and I think he did not intend it to be a religious experience for non Jews. I believe he just wants people to stop and contemplate whats happening around them . It not important for non Jew to fast in any particular way since they are not doing it as a religious observance. As I said I think Beck just want the bulk of Americans to stop for a day and take stock of the events around them.

There is no point for a non-Jew to fast on Yom Kippur. However, a Gentile CAN repent at any time.

I don't have to repent for anything Mo2388, but I'll put your post in my circular file for future reference.

Who said that there was any need to repent. The fact that it is Yom Kippur really has no meaning to non Jews. Not that I have any intention of fasting on that day or any other but Beck was not speaking of repent he was speaking about a day of reflection.

muman613 · « **Reply #11 on:** September 23, 2009, 08:26:55 PM »

we must remember the story of Jonah which we will read on Yom Kippur...

Yonah was asked to go to Nineveh to ask the non-Jewish nation to repent... They did repent through prayer and donning sackcloth..

I didn't say that Bullcat3, what I mean was even though one doesn't have to fast they can do anything to "reflect" if they want.

EDIT: Please be respectful.

Fasting on Yom Kippur makes for me no sense.

I think this proposal of Glenn Beck is a Schnapps-idea.

For any gentile contemplating on fasting- you should first be aware that for Jews fasting means no eating and no drinking.

I have no problem with this too. There are lots of good people who are attracted to Judaism. Some decide to be Noahides and some want to join completely.

But if you decide to be under the Law, you can't pick according to my believe.

You have to keep then the whole law. Otherwise it can hurt you spiritually.
