Yom Kippur is also known as the Day of Atonement. It is the holiest day of the year in Judaism. Elizer is frustrated with his God and his religion. He doubts, even mocks, the idea that Jews are the chosen people. He questions why any kind of God would put his people in this situation. He is also starving, so he eats.
