Yom Kippur 2015

    So as you know, Wednesday was an off day. And this is because it was Yom Kippur. Yom Kippur is the holiest Jewish holiday and during this holiday Jewish people ask God to forgive them for the sins that they have done in the past. 

On this holiday, we fast for 25 hours. We also cannot touch electricity but this is on most holidays. Personally, my family likes to observe this more than any other holiday. The fast starts at approximately 6:33 P.M (sundown) on Tuesday night. It lasts until sundown of Wednesday night. During the day, we spend most of our time at the temple praying. To break the fast, my family tradition is to eat this kind of food that my mom makes. It has shredded apples, rose water, and some sugar. For me, eating this is the best part! As of now, there is an 8 day holiday called Sukkot that's just beginning! I'll save that for next week's blog.
