Yom Kippur Party - Celebrating Your Faith
by
Gail Leino
Designated as a "Day of Atonement" Yom Kippur occurs the tenth day after Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, and is the traditional time in which people of the Jewish faith spend a day not in work, but in fasting and seeking forgiveness and restitution for any wrongs they might have done to another person. This fast ends at nightfall, and is usually followed by a feast and Yom Kippur Party.

by
Dorit Sasson

Rosh Hashanah is the anniversary of the day the world was created, and the day on which, annually, the world is judged.
