Question: I have a big dilemma. One of my best friends that I've known for 10 years is getting married on Yom Kippur. He's not Jewish and I know he did this with only good intentions, but it's too late to change anything. To make it worse, I am the best man. Is there any way around this situation? I have to be there by 5:00 pm at the latest which means there is still 2 hours and 45 minutes left of Yom Kippur. Response: Think of Sandy Koufax. It's the 1965 World Series. He's scheduled to pitch on Yom Kippur, but declines. Instead, he attends synagogue in Minneapolis.
