Yom Kippur

The Yom Kippur War, fought in October 1973 between Israel and a coalition of Arab states led by Egypt and Syria, resulted in significant casualties on both sides. Estimates suggest that approximately 2,800 Israeli soldiers and around 8,000 Arab soldiers lost their lives during the conflict. The war was marked by intense fighting and had lasting impacts on regional politics, leading to subsequent peace negotiations and shifts in military strategy. The conflict remains a pivotal moment in Middle Eastern history.

After Yom Kippur in Elie Wiesel's "Night," Elie and the other Jewish prisoners are forced to evacuate the concentration camp due to the advancing Soviet army. They embark on a brutal march to another camp, known as Gleiwitz, where they continue to endure inhumane conditions. This journey marks a significant moment in Elie's struggle for survival amidst the horrors of the Holocaust.

The U.S. doctrine following the Yom Kippur War of 1973 emphasized the importance of maintaining a military balance in the Middle East and supporting Israel as a key ally. The conflict highlighted the need for a robust intelligence apparatus and rapid military readiness, leading to increased U.S. arms sales to Israel. Additionally, the war underscored the significance of diplomacy in resolving conflicts, prompting U.S. efforts to facilitate peace negotiations between Israel and its Arab neighbors. This period ultimately shaped U.S. foreign policy in the region for decades to come.

On Yom Kippur, which is a day of repentance and reflection in Judaism, many observant Jews refrain from wearing makeup as part of the overall emphasis on humility and self-denial. The day is dedicated to spiritual cleansing and atonement, and avoiding cosmetics is seen as a way to strip away distractions and focus on the inner self. Additionally, it aligns with the general prohibitions on physical pleasures and adornments during this solemn day.

The majority of the world's Jewish population, estimated at over 70-80%, observes the fast of Yom Kippur, which is considered the holiest day of the Jewish calendar.

Yes, in Elie Wiesel's Night, Chlomo urges his son not to fast on Yom Kippur because he believes they need to keep up their strength in order to survive. Chlomo emphasizes the importance of self-preservation given their dire circumstances in the concentration camp.

Yom Kippur is the Jewish Day of Atonement, where you fast for 25 hours. The holiday will sometimes fall during Shabbat.

However, Yom Kippur is the only time when fasting is allowed during Shabbat. Every other week out of the year, one of the requirements of observing Shabbat is to have three wonderful meals: Friday night dinner, Saturday lunch, and Saturday dinner.
