Gmar Chatimah Tovah -- a Meaningful Yom Kippur
Tomorrow marks Erev Yom Kippur, the most holy day of the Jewish calendar. Ask your children:
- Why do grownups fast on Yom Kippur?
- What do we pray for?
- What special prayers do you have for this Yom Kippur?
- Watch this video, of the Lubavitcher Rebbe giving advice on Yom Kippur customs. Then speak about why the Rebbe suggests eating sweet cake (like honey cake) before Yom Kippur, and why someone who gives tzedakkah/charity receives more in return than the monetary value he gave.
