Chia Before the Fast פֿאַרפֿאַסטן מיט שאַפּנישע שאַלװיע

The Yiddish word פֿאַרפֿאַסטן (farfastn) means eating the meal before a fast, andאָפּפֿאַסטן (opfastn) mean eating the meal after a fast, or breaking a fast. Isn’t it interesting that English has the term “breaking a fast,” but no term for eating the meal before a fast, or at least none I can recall?

איך װעל פֿאַרפֿאַסטן מיט שפּאַנישע שאַלװיע און אָפּפֿאַסטן מערצעשעם מיט עפּלסאָס

Ikh vel farfastn mit shpanishe shalvye, un opfastn mertseshem mit eplsos

I plan to prepare for the fast with chia seeds and break the fast with apple sauce.
