I'll admit that I've felt awkward all day, knowing that I'm not doing anything to mark Yom Kippur, while tens of thousands of other non-religious Jews are. Why am I being different? Why am I being stubborn and difficult?

My SIL on the phone the other day was telling us how she and her hubby and kids were going to Yom Kippur services (even though they never go to temple otherwise - I don't even think there's a temple where they live) and she asked us when services started here. David just moved onto another subject without answering.
