Waxman Staff Writer Sep 22, 2015 5:35 PM UTC The stars of _Broad City_ on Comedy Central have produced a special sketch for Yom Kippur, the [first of six digital shorts](http://www.ew.com/article/2015/09/21/broad-city-yom-kippur) that will be released every Tuesday to tide fans over before season 3 premieres in February 2016\. Watch as Abbi Abrams (Abbi Jacobson) and Ilana Wexler (Ilana Glazer) complain about fasting — and see the sneaky way Ilana breaks it. If you have seen the show, then you totally understand why the self-obsessed (but hilarious) characters would not be able to make this sacrifice.
