G’mar Chasima Tova 🙏🏻 I hope you have a meaningful Yom Kippur and this coming year brings you success and happiness as you’re sealed into the book of life.

We each experience Yom Kippur in a different way.

We each experience Yom Kippur in a different way. Some connect more to prayer (in or out of shul), some stay home with their kids, some stay in bed because the fast can be really hard on their bodies, some pray in English, some pray in Hebrew, some don’t fast for different reasons, some read books…whatever you do on Yom Kippur, it’s a day to focus on you. May you be sealed into the book of life and I hope it’s a meaningful day 🙏🏻

On Yom Kippur, which is our day of atonement, we fast (which means no food or water), pray, atone for our missteps, ask for forgiveness and do our share of forgiving as well. A few things we don’t do: use technology, wear leather shoes, put on lotions and ointment, have relations, or bathe for the 25 hours.

Do all Jewish people fast on Yom Kippur? The answer is no, and there are always medical exemptions as well. With any what-if’s you can think of, my suggestion is always for someone to speak to their rabbi and doctor. Zach and I are both type 1 diabetics and we both don’t fast, tho there are diabetics who fast.

For any Jewish people who grew up with a Hebrew name, we might not even think twice about how special it is but I’ve learned through TikTok that so many people don’t even realize that we have a Hebrew name ❤️ It’s so much fun teaching all the beautiful things about being a Jew!
