As the sun sets this evening, Jewish communities across Alberta and around the world come together to observe Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement. This cherished day is all about seeking forgiveness, reflecting on our actions, and making amends with those we may have hurt, as well as with God.

Yom Kippur is more than just a day of fasting and prayer; it’s a powerful reminder of the strength and resilience of the Jewish people. It’s a moment to renew faith, lift our spirits, and seek divine mercy and blessings. Together, we embrace humility and honesty, allowing us to emerge from this sacred day even stronger and more united as a community.

To everyone observing Yom Kippur, may your prayers be heard, and your fast be meaningful. Let’s reflect, connect, and grow together!
