Holiday Yuntifs are pure abuse, physically, mentally, and emotionally. How much can a man sleep, eat, and keep himself cooped up in his house staring at the wall for? Its ridiculous! Yuntif is especially abusive when it falls out connecting with Shabbos. When that happens one cannot do anything fun/healthy/normal for up to 3 straight days. Jesus Christ!! We need a break!! It’s not healthy to be a couch potato (without TV nonetheless) for 3 straight days! You go out of your mind. Your family ends up driving you nuts after spending 72 straight hours with them. Maybe it was nice in Poland 200 Years ago, but not in America in 2009. Whether you like it or not, that’s the reality.
A separate issue, which I’m not going to delve too deeply into, is that the second day of Yuntif is fake. It’s pointless and unnecessary. Why we are still practicing it is a mystery to me. We now know what the correct day of Yuntif is which is why they practice the correct 1 day of Yuntif in Israel (not 2), but I have no idea why were still holding 2 days here. And don’t give me that crap about being punished for not living in Israel. The only reason why were still keeping 2 days is because crazy rabbis is Brooklyn like Yuntif so much that they wanted to keep 2 so they instated that we keep the 2 day Yuntif without any regard of the fact that most normal Jews don’t like it and its mamish suffering for them. These Brooklyn Jews live shtetle type lives and don’t care about those who go to work and live normal lives (us). We are sinners, so who cares that we don’t want to keep 2 days. The real holy Jews want it so we’ll keep it at 2. In reality 2 days is primitive and unnecessary.

you have way too much time on your angry hands for these rants Kevin. Focus on something actually spiritual like feeding someone hungry or mentoring a child. You are very concerned about wasting meaningless time, so STOP it and discontinue your negative rants. Go out. Do a mitzvah, help a human, use the time you complain about as being primitive and useless to do something actually positive and useful. Your whining is a great impetus for change. Make some
