German term or phrase: Anbeiƒen
A week and a half later is Yom Kippur. Father, in his death robes, moves about the house like a ghost. A mood of rue and penitence prevails. None of us will eat until the stars rise. Anbeiƒen. And four days later it is already the Feast of Tabernacles.

agree  Wendy Streitparth: Yes, break-fast. "A break-fast is the meal eaten after Jewish fast days such as Yom Kippur and Tisha B'Av." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Break_fast / Kind of: just belted in from the garden after the heavens opened. Again!

  -> Or after Lent. Hey Wendy, I hope you're well and boogie-woogie-ing!// Most of my first seeding has drowned, the second's coming up and I'm off on vacation tomorrow. Wonder what I'll find when I get home?

Another quote:

Now, Yom Kippur is over, too. We had a good fast and a very tasty Anbeissen (break-the-fast).
