Yom Kippur: Eve
built 230 days ago
Although any amount is forbidden, eating on Yom Kippur is not punishable by a Sanhedrin until one has eaten food equal in volume to the size of a date. Eating pork, on the other hand, is punishable for eating even an olive-sized piece, which is smaller than a date.

Kiddush HaShem is an important theme on Yom Kippur. We should never forget the Jewish martyrs of our past and our present. Yet we ... have the opportunity at this season to perform acts of Kiddush HaShem as part of our daily lives, transforming the ordinary and everyday into acts of sanctity and holiness.
