\nYom Kippur<\/span><\/strong> also known as the Day of Atonement<\/strong> is the most solemn and important of the Jewish holidays<\/a>. Its central themes are atonement<\/a> and repentance<\/a>. Jewish people traditionally observe this holy day with a 25-hour period of fasting<\/a> and intensive prayer<\/a>, often spending most of the day in synagogue<\/a> services.<\/span><\/p>\n

Yom Kippur is considered one of the holiest of Jewish holidays and it is observed by many secular Jews<\/a> who may not observe other holidays. Many secular Jews fast and attend synagogue on Yom Kippur, where the number of worshippers attending is often double or triple the normal attendance.<\/span><\/p>\n

Please pass along a little information to your au pairs who are with Jewish families, it\u2019s nice for them to know that this is such an important holiday.Here are a couple of links with more information:<\/p>\n
