[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Main problem that I see is that when I get to break the fast.. I do not wish to sit and chat for a while. I want to eat! Especially, as I'm also in a group that has various levels of fasting, as, as someone who fasts strictly, I find that people who haven't fasted  I would not invite more people that you are comfortable seating and eating simultaneously, as some people will be happy with to go boxes, and some will not.

Sorry, got interrupted while editing and lost train of thought (I must be hungry)

Anyhow, I was saying, in a mixed group of fasters and non-fasters, I find the non-fasters can be a little clueless about the fact that some of us want to actually sit down and eat and chat later! This works fine when I can hit the buffet or grab apps and then catch up with Aunt Sally later. This would not work well if I were holding my to go box, or eating in one of the few distanced chair and Aunt Sally was hanging around so she could chat with me after I finished.

Break the fast just doesn't sound like a great set-up for a distanced gathering.

Do you have to do break the fast or could you do Kol Nidre dinner? That sounds better to me, as people really want to get in, eat, and get off to services. If you have a group like ours where people are headed to different events, you could easily stagger. [/quote]

No services to go to this year unfortunately.[/quote]

Ours are live/virtual...[/quote]
