    I’m fasting today; it’s a traditional Jewish fast day but also a “hunger strike against violaviflax.com/post/fasting-t…5#HungryForPeaceForPeace

    Fasting Today

    I’m fasting today — both because it’s a traditional Jewish fast day and as part of a “hunger strike against violence” wherein some Jews and Muslims around the world are dedicating today’s traditional fasts (for the 17th of Tammuz and Ramadan) to end the conflict between Israel and Palestinians. There are a few different Facebook events and Internet campaigns for this idea, so I’m not sure where it started, but I find it compelling. I’ve felt powerless to do anything meaningful about the situation, and prayer is tough for me these days, but fasting — that I can do.
