The fifth day of the seventh month in the 2729th year of our dispersion.

On the first night of fasting I had two dreams. In the first, I got the distinct feeling that my enemy was watching me. It makes a little sense considering the beginning of the fast is basically a commencement of battle (not a declaration or war - it was declared long ago). In the second, I saw Christian commentaries and literature with the word "ISHTAR" emblazoned across the front of each.
