Tonight at sundown will be beginning of the Jewish Holiday Yom Kippur. During Yom Kippur we ask for forgiveness from our sins and to be sealed into the book of life. Although this is a holiday, it is not spent celebrating, eating, and being merry. This "holiday" will be spent (starting at 6 PM) in religious services, praying to g-d, and instead of eating, as of sundown those of us over the age of 13 will be fasting. So instead of saying happy yom kippur, you should say hope that you have a meaningful fast, which is what I will be saying to all of you who are observing, and also please forgive me if I have offended you this year in any way. thanks!
