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

Yom Kippur is considered one of the holiest of Jewish holidays and it is observed by many secular Jews<\/span><\/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

This year Yom Kippur begins<\/span> at sundown <\/span>this evening and ends on Wednesday evening<\/span>.\u00a0 <\/span>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.<\/span><\/p>\n
