Shana Tova from Jewlane. After dipping your apples in honey for the New Year, the time has arrived for the only Jewish holiday where the main focus isn’t food– no water, snacking, or meals till sundown. Late night binge eaters, munchie fanatics, and drunchies, this is your time to repent. Worship your body like a temple (in temple).
Instead of being mean to your family members (because we know you need a snack and a cup of coffee asap) share this article to make them super hungry. We have searched high and low, east and west (or just on Instagram) to help you pass the time before sundown and breaking the fast.

Alright, now we’re craving a bagel…and a burger, and a cappuccino, and French toast. If you caved, we don’t blame you– food shouldn’t look this good. To those who didn’t, the day is almost over, the sun is almost down, and food will be in your tummies before you know it. Good luck not breaking the fast and a happy 5778 to all.
