"Fasting is about empathy. When we go a few hours without eating, we feel it. That feeling should remind us of the great numbers of people, some of them quite nearby, who know hunger (of all sorts) every day. Our discomfort, modest as it may be, is supposed to make us more compassionate, more generous, more sensitive to the needs of others. It is one thing to say it; it is quite another to feel it in our kishkas."
Neal Gold teaches and writes about Jewish texts, Israel, and intersections between Jewish life and the contemporary world. Neal is adjunct faculty and a lecturer for Hebrew College’s Me'ah program, courses of study that empower adults to understand Judaism on a deeper level. He is the Jewish Chaplain & Hillel Director at Babson College in Wellesley, MA, and the Past President of the Massachusetts Board of Rabbis.
