During discussions of Yom Kippur several years ago, an argument was presented that nowhere does the Scripture indicate that fasting is a requirement of Yom Kippur. This struck me as an odd thing, even dangerous. I had not even heard such a thing before. I didn’t know that there was any debate over this issue among observant Jews. I knew that some Reformed Jews would casually work and not fast on Yom Kippur, but was not aware that there were other groups in the Jewish community that did not believe that fasting was a requirement of Yom Kippur.
Certainly the idea of fasting on Yom Kippur is an age old “tradition” among the more observant of both Jews and some Gentiles. There are even some “Christian” groups that fast on this day. Some groups fast on a regular basis, either for health or spiritual benefit, multiple times a year – even weekly.
The instructions in question for Yom Kippur are in the following texts:
Strange Incense
Adapted from the original article by David Wilkerson
I want to talk about a horrible abomination in the house of Elohim that is not being dealt with. I have felt the breathing of Eloah's wrath against this sin in my life. The Ruach Ha Kodesh has taken me into the depths of this hideousness and exposed it.
It has to do with the other side of prayer! The dark, evil, sinful side! The abominable kind of prayer! Prayer from the hearts and lips of unconsecrated and unholy people.
Excerpt from Messiah, Volume 1 By Avi Ben Mordecai
Rabbi (Hacham) Shaul was a scholarly teacher of Torah, both of the Oral and Written codes. Not only did he order his life by it, but he also taught it to others, born Jews and born Gentiles alike. Since Sha'ul followed Messiah Y'shua, who also taught the Oral and Written Torah, I submit (at this time in my life) that we should be following in the footsteps of Judaism's great teachers of G-d's Law, so long as the halacha meets five conditions:
It does not contradict Y'shua's teachings on Oral Torah.
Yedayim 4:3E tells us,
"Everyone who gives a stringent ruling must bring forth proof."
(Mishnah 4:3E(2))
Our responsa on the matters of the Amidah and the Birkat HaMinim is written by consensus.
In general it is as written to you before:
There is no Torah command to pray thrice daily.
