... D: Do we have to leave on the night of the 17th?
The festival conflicts with Yom Kippur, which is basically the most important of the Jewish holidays, and it's a day of fasting. The way it works, it starts on sundown of the 17th and goes to sundown of the 18th. I was prepared to miss services on the day of the 18th, but go to services the night before and just not eat during the day. However, if we go the night of the 17th and stop for dinner then too, it means I miss services completely and you guys are torturing me. :<
