It's interesting. I live in Jerusalem right on the edge of the Judean Desert (מדבר יהודה in Hebrew). During the Jewish Sabbath we have a ton of prayers (usually that deal with the hardships of living in the desert). These songs are not so much about giving something up as they represent the "Spiritual Desert" one finds himself in and how to repent to get God's forgiveness. Very interesting.

Thank you for sharing! I love to hear perspectives from different religions. People need to realize how much they all have in common. One of the reasons I am participating in this is to show that a person does not need to be a practicing Christian in order to take part in these universally Good deeds.
Great. Than I share with pleasure.
