Fasting is not meant as an "affliction;" it is in itself a form of teshuva, allowing us to concentrate on our spiritual, rather than physiological side on this one day. To prepare properly for the fast: * Drink at least 8 full glasses of water on Sunday (erev YK) & avoid caffeinated beverages; * Increase starch & fiber intake before the fast, eating items such as whole-grain cereals or bread, pasta, rice, potatoes; * Decrease protein intake & avoid salty foods such as lox, pickles, chips or pretzels. The meal before the fast may include boiled, grilled or baked chicken; steamed or raw vegetables, beans, lentils, fresh fruit; cake or bread.

Sometimes We Have No One to Blame But Ourselves & Our Imagination!

Rav Kook explains how fear and one's imagination often cause more damage than the problem itself. In fact, most of our problems we cause to ourselves, and if we made decisions based upon Godly logic and ideals, it would not only grant us a feeling of security, but in fact we would save ourselves from most problems, and surely the inflated or exaggerated ones.

The Neurotics of the Exile Mentality & Fear of Change

Rav Kook ingeniously explains this difficult aggadita about "Sandal Messumar", relating to the problem of "Fear of the Unknown", and the Exile Mentality, where fear becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. This analysis has many current ramifications regarding the individual and Israel's relationship with her enemies, as well as with America, and how to deal with anti-Semitism today in America, Europe and Australia.
