  2. I think the synopsis is only true of Hanukkah, Purim, and Passover.

    Tisha B'Av is the anti-example: They came to kill us; they won; let's fast.

  3. Yom Kippur is not a 'holiday' so much as an obligation.

    (But in any case, the eating comes after sundown when the fasting is done. :) )
