Today is Yom Kippur, one of the holiest days of the year for Jews (and a day where many choose not to eat or drink in atonement for their sins of the prior year). In other words, this is pretty much the only day someone wishes they were eating matzoh on Passover.
Happy New Year to my Jewish friends!
