dont feel bad if you cant fast on Yom Kippur.
dont feel bad if you break the fast on Yom Kippur.
dont feel like you have to do something you know you cant.
judaism is not an all-or-nothing thing.
please stay safe.
yes this!! judaism explicitly teaches that it is a mitzvah to break your fast (or to not fast at all) on fasting days, if fasting would be dangerous to your physical or mental health!
(a mental health example would be if you have an eating disorder, and fasting could trigger your symptoms or otherwise make it worse)
psa!!!
