Today, Jews around the world celebrate Yom Kippur - The Day of Atonement or The Judgment Day. This day is considered to be one of the most important in the Jewish tradition. Yom Kippur - is repentance and forgiveness of sins. Jews fast and pray for 25 hours, starting before sunset the evening before Yom Kippur and ending after nightfall on the day of the holiday. Food and drinks during this period are forbidden, but children under 13 years old and pregnant women are not obliged to keep fast.
The Jewish people carried their traditions through the millennia. They managed to save their culture, faith and authenticity. On the day of Yom Kippur, I want to wish all of you an easy fast, peace and love in your home. Let your deeds and actions bring to the world only love and care.
Today's world is quite cruel. We often hurt our dearest and beloved people, offend others, and do roughness for roughness. I want to apologize to all those whom I hurt during the year. I want to wish all of us to be more tolerant and kind, forgive mistakes and offences, and have no resentment.
Let in this holy for all Jews day, each of us, regardless the faith or nationality, think about your life and recall the mistakes. Let us repent sincerely and believe that within our power is to make the world better and kinder.
