Reply To: Yom Kippur like Purim

As we said before that we make up the simcha of eating with erev yom kippur. There was a story with the holy Berdichever zy’a who on Kol Nidrei night was looking underneath all tables in his shul. The chassidim did not know what he was doing. When he finished, he went to the bimah and said, RBSA if the goyim were given a day when it is a mitzva to eat, they would have drunk themselves under the table however, I can’t find one Jew being under the table.
