I am fasting for spiritual reasons, the primary motivations being to become the woman G-d wants me to be, to know and do what He wants me to do, and to, in general, become the person He wants me to become. I am NOT doing this for the purposes of weight loss, cleansing, experimentation, record setting, health, or for any other non-religious alterior motive. Nor am I doing this for anyone else, though other individuals have asked me to pray for certain things during this time.

I plan on fasting up until passover week begins, (the evening of April 8), which would make it ~41 days of fasting, since I last ate on February 26, at 11:58pm. I will eat during passover, as instructed in the Torah, and then begin the second 40+ day fast, which will end with the beginning of Shavuot (Pentecost) on May 29, in the evening.

I believe this is called a “Moses Fast” or “Passover Fast” because Moses fasted for 40 days, then after finishing that fast, fasted another 40 days. The Bible says Moses did not drink water, however, and in contrast, I will be drinking water on a regular basis. Also, it can be referred to as a “Passover Fast” because you fast 40 days before Passover, eat, as commanded during Passover Week, and then fast ~40 more days until Shavuot/Pentecost.

I will be eating no food and drinking only water for 40 days, until Passover begins. At which time, I will break the fast by eating the passover meals and matzah bread (unleavened bread or bread without yeast) and foods allowed during the passover week, (equivalent to approximately one meal or less a day, all in total). Immediately following that week, I hope to begin the second 40 day fast, which will end on Shavuot (the day of Pentecost), so, in actuallity, it will be an additional 42-43 days of fasting. Though no one has ever gone more than 63 days without eating before death, I feel confident that with eating the passover meal/food each day during the passover week, and with God’s protection, I will be able to finish the second 40 day fast. I assure you, I will NOT risk death. If at any time I feel my life is in danger, I will stop without hesitation.

This type of fast (a water only fast) is identical to the fast Moses, Jesus, and others have achieved, which means consuming nothing but water. However, Moses did not consume water, and Jesus did only one 40 day fast. Fasting for 40 days at least once was what I was initially striving for, but if on the last day of Passover Weak, I do not feel my health will be in danger, I hope to fast for 40 more days, thus completing two 40 day fasts.

I am aware of the admonitions to keep fasting private, along with the consequence of losing rewards for not doing so. I am normally a very quiet and private person. However, I feel information like this, being made available to the public, could be both motivational to the Spiritual, and informational to the Scientific. I searched for specific knowledge on fasting, but found few details concerning fasts lasting longer than a week or so.

I want my fasting to benefit both myself and G-d, but also others who may be helped by deciding to do the same thing. For these reasons, I will provide information on both the physical aspects and spiritual changes I experience daily, during the 40 day fast(s). This will include levels of hunger, energy, spiritual perception, weight loss, and both problems and benefits I experience. Weight amounts are only being publicly disclosed to confirm the validity of the fast itself.

In the interest of full disclosure, and at my husband’s insistance, I am taking a multivitamin, which commonly include vitamins/minerals such as iron, potassium, sodium, B12, etc., one – two times a day. I have made entirely sure that these contain NO calories, protein, or sugars in any form. This is to ensure that, though I am drinking nothing but water, the risk of injury is at a minimum, and that the stringent definition of ‘fasting’ is not violated.

This fast started at 11:58 P.M., February 26, 2009.

*******************************************
“American Ramadan”

http://www.americanramadan.com

“American Ramadan” is a bold and exciting new look at the American Muslim experience, produced and masterfully captured by first time director Naeem Randhawa. “American Ramadan” explores and reveals the holiest of rituals, shared by the Abrahamic traditions, but practiced by more — the act of Fasting for Faith. As diverse as the fabric of America, from the divorced Dad, the student coping with school, work and family life, the convert to Islam and his Indonesian wife, an
interracial couple, and the wife of an incarcerated businessman — the reality of life is vividly and emotionally witnessed on film.

Filmed on location in Dallas and Los Angeles, the feature length documentary follows the lives of five American Muslim families during the Month of Ramadan in 2005. Contrast to the media stereotypes of Muslims as sheltered and outcasts — the film illustrates the everyday struggles, fears, hopes and challenges that everyone, Muslim or not, faces everyday. From the everyday busy lives of the families, the film follows the individuals as they strive to maintain their rhythm, and find time for worship and faith through the act of Fasting and prayer.

The intimate and personal stories of the five families are complemented with scholars from the three Abrahamic faiths. Rabbi Robert Haas from Temple Shalom, Dr. Robert Hunt, a Christian doctor and director of Global Theological Education at Southern Methodist University’s Perkins School of Theology, Dr. Jamal Badawi who is the founder of the Islamic Information Foundation and a professor emeritus at St. Mary’s University in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Dr. Muazzamul Sidiqque, ex-president of the largest Islamic organization in North America — Islamic Society of North America (ISNA), and Dr. Mahmoud Khan, an internal medicine physician who has studied the medical process and benefits of fasting. All of these scholars bring to light the common thread of fasting and spiritual yearning between Jews, Muslims, Christians, and other Faiths.

An introspective view of how Muslims in American cope with their religious and cultural traditions, while balancing the western way of life, “American Ramadan” is required viewing for anyone that is an observer of humanity. This documentary does more than build bridges; it exemplifies the plight of everyone who is seeking faith and a higher spiritual understanding.

The documentary has just wrapped up production, and is currently in post-production. It will be released for the upcoming Ramadan season, in September 2006. The producers are currently engaged in securing broadcast releases domestically and in the international market.

Important Update:

I feel healthier than I anticipated, and G-d has blessed me, as this experience has been very rewarding. I feel it is safe and will be attempting a third and final 40 day fast, after 4 days of eating, following the second fast. I will not fast to the point of risking death, although I do trust G-d to take care of me.

The 2nd fast will end on the night of May 28th, which is the beginning of Friday the 29th, on the Jewish Calendar. The 3rd fast will begin the evening of Monday, June 1st, and will end the night of July 11th, 2009.

I have finished the 42nd day of a 40 day fast. This is my second consecutive 40 day, water only fast. (A water fast is one in which only water is consumed.) These two water fasts have been separated by approximately 7 days of eating – (the days of Passover Week) – so the 2 fasts consist of a 40 day fast before Passover Week and a 40 day fast immediately following Passover Week. While breaking the fast during Passover, only “Kosher for Passover” foods were be eaten. I post this information with every video.

I am fasting for spiritual reasons, the primary motivations being to become the woman G-d wants me to be, to know and do what He wants me to do, and to, in general, become the person He wants me to become. I am NOT doing this for the purposes of weight loss, cleansing, experimentation, record setting, health, or for any other non-religious alterior motive. Nor am I doing this for anyone else, though other individuals have asked me to pray for certain things during this time.

During the 1st fast, I fasted up until Passover week began, (the evening of April 8), which made it ~41 days of fasting, since I had last eaten on February 26, at 11:58pm. I ate during passover, as instructed in the Torah, and then began this second 40+ day fast, which will end with the beginning of Shavuot (Pentecost) on May 29.

I ate no food and drank only water for 40 days, until Passover began. At which time, I broke the fast by eating the Passover meals and matzah bread (unleavened bread or bread without yeast) and foods allowed during the passover week, (equivalent to approximately one meal or less a day, all in total). Immediately following that week, I began the second 40 day fast, which will end on Shavuot (the day of Pentecost), so, in actuallity, it will be an additional 42-43 days of fasting. In total, I will have fasted 84 days, when the 2nd fast concludes on May 29. Though no one has ever gone more than 63 days without eating before death, I feel confident that with eating the passover meal/food each day during the Passover week, and with G-d’s protection, I will be able to finish this second 40 day fast. I ure you, I will NOT risk death. If at any time I feel my life is in danger, I will stop without hesitation.

This type of fast (a water only fast) is identical to the fast Moses, Jesus, and others have achieved, which means consuming nothing but water. However, Moses did not consume water, and Jesus did only one 40 day fast. Fasting for 40 days at least once was what I was initially striving for, but on the last day of Passover Week, I did not feel my health to be in danger, so I am fasting for 40 more days, thus completing two 40 day fasts.

I am aware of the admonitions to keep fasting private, along with the consequence of losing rewards for not doing so. I am normally a very quiet and private person. However, I feel information like this, being made available to the public, could be both motivational to the Spiritual, and informational to the Scientific.

This will include levels of hunger, energy, spiritual perception, weight loss, and both problems and benefits I experience. Weight amounts are only being publicly disclosed to confirm the validity of the fast itself.

In the interest of full disclosure, and at my husband’s insistance, I am taking multivitamins, which commonly include vitamins/minerals such as iron, potassium, sodium, B12, etc., one – three times a day. I have made entirely sure that these contain NO calories, protein, or sugars in any form. This is to ensure that, though I am drinking nothing but water, the risk of injury is at a minimum, and that the stringent definition of ‘fasting’ is not violated.

This fast, (the 2nd one), started April 16, 2009, and will end on May 29, 2009, (the beginning Shavuot/Pentecost.)

The 1st fast started at 11:58 P.M., February 26, 2009, and ended the night of April 8, 2009.
