Yom Kippur means “Day of Atonement” in Hebrew. This is the holiest Jewish holiday of the year and ends the ten days of High Holidays or “Days of Awe,” which begin with Rosh Hashanah. Traditionally, this is a time where Jewish people refrain from work and all adults fast from sundown the evening before Yom Kippur until nightfall the next day. On the day of Yom Kippur itself, there are many traditional prayers. Yom Tov to our Quilchena families who recognize this holiday.
