How to observe Yom Kippur at work
Yom Kippur is one of the holiest day of the year for Jews, a time when they pray for forgiveness and reflect on their sins. The holiday began as a one-day event, but over time it grew to include a number of rituals and prayers.
The name Yom Kippur comes from two Hebrew words: yom, meaning "day," and kippur, meaning "atonement." The day is set aside for repentance and reflection on the past year's sins. It is believed that by confessing one's wrongs and asking for God's forgiveness, people can be forgiven and have a clean slate to start the new year.
Yom Kippur is celebrated on the tenth day of the Jewish month of Tishrei.
Though the Jewish holiday of Yom Kippur is not as widely celebrated in America as Christmas or Easter, it is still an important day for many businesses. Yom Kippur is a time when Jews traditionally spend time in prayer and reflection, asking for forgiveness for their sins over the past year. For many companies, this means that there will be a significant reduction in business activity on September 29th and 30th.
There are still ways for businesses to celebrate and observe Yom Kippur. Many companies choose to close their doors on these days, but others may choose to hold special events or offer discounts to customers who identify themselves as Jewish. Some businesses choose to donate a portion of their profits from these days to charity.
