The Jewish holiday of Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, is coming up this weekend, Friday at sunset through Saturday at sunset. Yom Kippur is the holiest day of the Jewish year and is marked by fasting, reflection, and prayers for forgiveness. Jews traditionally observe Yom Kippur by abstaining from food and water for 25 hours and not doing any work (that said, people whose health would be harmed by fasting are exempt). It is customary to wish one another an “easy fast” or “a meaningful Yom Kippur.” “Gmar chatima tova” is a traditional Hebrew greeting that means “May you be signed and sealed in the Book of Life.”
Albion Hillel will have a pre-fast dinner gathering at the Albion Malleable Brewery this Thursday evening at 7:00 p.m. Food will be paid for.
Additionally, observant Jewish students staying on campus during the weekend may request a free green to-go box to save food for later from Baldwin. Email ltodd@albion.edu to learn more and reserve a box.
