This makes no sense to me. Like I said, I was brought up Jewish and have a fairly good understanding of it, but Yom Kippur is the day of repetance. Why would you not want to think about your suffering/hunger? That seems to defeat the purpose.

The purpose of Yom Kippuer is to cleanse the body in an effort to be more pure, and closer to god. Not to endulge in pain. At least that is what the majority of the orthodox jews say.
My personal experience for fasting on Yom Kippur is that it sucks. I hate it. And from pictures of you Bruiser, you need to be eating more, not less. And also going to the gym wouldn't hurt.
