The concept of New Year\u2019s resolutions that mark our secular New Year\u2019s Day comes from the Jewish idea of repentance at the start of a new year.<\/p>\n<p>As we reflect on the mistakes we\u2019ve made over the past year, we resolve to be better people. One element of repentance is fasting, so Jews are not permitted to eat or drink on Yom Kippur. But boy do we prepare ourselves for the fast! We serve full, balanced meals &#8212; light on the salt and thirst-inducing spices &#8212; just before the fast. When it\u2019s over, we give thanks and dig in once again.<\/p>\n<p>The post-Yom Kippur meal may not contain every dish you fantasized about during the fast, but it\u2019s sure to be satisfying.<\/p>\n<p><strong>SMOKED SALMON OMELET<\/strong><br \/>\nThis recipe only makes one omelet because you really can\u2019t make more than one at a time. If you are serving several for brunch, make them all beforehand and keep them whole. Warm the prepared omelets on a greased sheet pan in the oven, warming drawer or on a hot plate. Then, cut in half just before serving.<\/p>\n<p><em>Prep time:\u00a0<\/em>10 minutes<br \/>\n<em>Cook time:\u00a0<\/em>2 hours<br \/>\n<em>Ready time:<\/em>\u00a02 hours, 10 minutes<br \/>\n<em>Servings:<\/em>\u00a02<\/p>\n<p><em>Ingredients:<\/em><br \/>\n1 tablespoon olive oil<br \/>\n1 small red onion, thinly sliced<br \/>\n5 large eggs, beaten<br \/>\n1\/2 teaspoon kosher salt<br \/>\nFreshly ground black pepper<br \/>\n2 tablespoons chopped chives<br \/>\n1 tablespoon capers<br \/>\n3 ounces thinly sliced smoked salmon<br \/>\n1 everything bagel, cut in half<br \/>\n4 tablespoons cream cheese<\/p>\n<p><em>Preparation:<\/em><br \/>\nHeat olive oil in a 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat.

Using a spatula, fold the omelet half without the salmon over the half with salmon to enclose it, and slide the omelet onto a plate.<\/p>\n<p>Cut in half crosswise and serve on an open faced bagel with cream cheese.<\/p>\n<p><strong>SWEET KUGEL WITH DRIED FRUIT<\/strong><br \/>\n<em>Prep time:<\/em>\u00a010 minutes<br \/>\n<em>Cook time:<\/em>\u00a045 minutes<br \/>\n<em>Ready time:\u00a0<\/em>55 minutes<br \/>\n<em>Servings:<\/em>\u00a012<\/p>\n<p><em>Ingredients:<\/em><br \/>\n1 pound wide egg noodles<br \/>\n3\/4 cup dried cherries<br \/>\n3\/4 cup dried apricots, diced<br \/>\n2 cups plain soy milk<br \/>\n5 large eggs, beaten<br \/>\n3\/4 cup plus 3 tablespoons sugar, divided<br \/>\n1 tablespoon vanilla extract<br \/>\n2 cups cornflake cereal, crushed<br \/>\n3 tablespoons margarine, melted<\/p>\n<p><em>Preparation:<\/em><br \/>\nPreheat oven to 350 degrees.
