To those of the Jewish faith, Yom Kippur signals the end of the High Holy days. Yom Kimpur means "Day of Atonement", where many seek God's forgiveness and mercy to make amends for the wrongs they have committed. It is a time of dedication of the mind, body and soul to reconcile with others, ourselves and God. It allows us to move forward, despite our past, to a better future.
This serves as a reminder of how important faith is and renews our strength to face challenges that may lie ahead.
I wish those celebrating an easy fast and a blessed Yom Kippur!
G'mar Chatimah Tovah.
