BS"D

8 Tishrei, 5768.

The Staff of The JTF Forum wishes our Jewish members a Shabbat Shalom, Chag Sameach (Happy Holiday), and Gmar Chatima Tova (Inscription in The Book of Life.) for Yom Kippur.

Yom Kippur commences Friday Night, 18 minutes before Sunset. As part of the new JTF Forum policy, The JTF Forum will be locked before Yom Kippur and remain locked until the end of Yom Kippur, about 25 hours later.

Yacov Menashe Ben Rachamim,
Chief Administrator.

Yes. Yom Kippur is not a day of mourning. It has musaf offerings just like all the other holidays in The Torah.






What are the five prohibited activities?

Aslo a note to Jews who might not know this- It is a big mitzva to eat the day before Yom Kippur. This Mitzva even takes precedence over learning Torah :o .

One who has two festive meals the day before Yom Kippur considered to have fasted both days. The first meal should be before Mincha and the second meal after Mincha. The second meal should not include fish.



Thats true, but also to eat as much as possible (it might be funny, but it is true). your right about fish, but its good to eat fish in the morning. " There is a custom, the Ben Ish Chai writes, to eat fish on Erev Kippur. And he says the custom is specifically in the breakfast"
  - also its good to avoid fatty foods, hot milk, eggs, dates, and more. One should be careful not to eat them past breakfast.  http://dailyhalacha.com/displayRead.asp?readID=389
