[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What time is BTSN? Doesn't Yom Kippur end at sundown?[/quote] After fasting all day, most people are exhausted and need a meal rather than racing to a school.[/quote] Back to school night is 7:00; Sundown is 7:06 that day. But, the definition of the end of the holiday is nightfall (not sunset). That is at 7:44 PM. That is when the fast ends. Note that I can not fast (diabetic), but I will be observing the holy day. So, there is a clear conflict.[/quote] Np here. Even if op doesn't fast, the "break the fast" meal is generally part of the holiday and many people gather with family or friends for it.[/quote]
