All of the rules I've written about this far are in force 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and 52 weeks a year. However, there are also special rules for special occasions. There are specific rules which are only relevant during the week-long Feast of Unleavened Bread, also known as Passover, which is celebrated in the early spring. Even more important is the weekly holiday of Sabbath, a day of rest from work (including from cooking). And then, there is the most holy day of the year, the Sabbath of Sabbaths, namely, the Day of Atonement (''Yom Kippur''), observed in the autumn. But here, things are rather simple (simple to understand, that is, but not necessarily simple to carry out), as for 24 25 hours you're just not allowed to eat or drink anything.
