Overview

Yom Kippur is about becoming a better person! This fall holiday marks the end of the High Holy Days, which begin with Rosh Hashanah. These ten days are the holiest time of year for Jewish people. If they have hurt anyone in the past year, they ask forgiveness. They fast, study the Torah, and attend prayer services together at synagogue. When the shofar sounds to mark the end of the holiday, they heed the call to go out and make the world a better place. Vibrant photos and easy-to-read text help readers learn about contemporary celebrations of the Day of Atonement. Readers will discover how a day of thinking about the past and asking for forgiveness can create a fresh start.
