יומא-עד

As יום כיפור was ending, one of the מתפללים said to the man in the seat next to him: “Did you notice how fidgety and anxious that fellow was? It seems that he just couldn’t wait to get home.” “In fact, I did notice. But I think he was מקיים מצוות ׳ועניתם את נפשותיכם׳ even more than our רבי.” Seeing the look of surprise, he explained: “It’s simple. Our רבי sat all day בתענית. But that fellow sat all day on pins and needles.”
