tortishells:

to all my jewish friends who:

can’t fast on yom kippur because of their physical health

can’t fast on yom kippur because of their mental health

can only fast part of the day

can only give up food because they need to stay hydrated

need to eat or drink due to medications

are told that their reasons for not fasting are reasons that only older people shouldn’t be fasting

G-d sees us. He knows we’ll do our best. Skipping the fast to stay safe and healthy is not something you need to atone for.
