Description
Yom Kippur
Yom Kippur is one of the holiest days of the Jewish holiday cycle. It
is a day of repentance for wrong-doing, for asking forgiveness from
one’s fellows and from God. Traditionally, adults go to synagogue, and
everyone over the age of 13 fasts, refraining from both food and drink
from sundown the evening before until sundown on Yom Kippur itself.
The purpose of fasting is to let the body focus on prayer and not worry
about day to day matters, and to be able to feel empathy for those who
may often be hungry, and thankfulness for all that we have.
Who Did? – traditional folk song
The story of Jonah and the whale is traditionally told on Yom
Kippur. This is a silly way to tell this story. I have also heard this
same song used to tell other stories from the Torah, (the first five
books of the Old Testament.) Start in a sitting position. On every
“w” word, move your hands up or down. On the last “down” word,
bring your hands down to the floor.
With older children, do the same thing with sitting up and
down, (great thigh workout!)
Who did, who did, who did, who did, who did swallow Jo-jo-jonah? (3x)
Who did swallow Jonah, who did swallow Jonah, who did swallow Jonah down?
Whale did, whale did, whale did, whale did, whale did swallow Jo-jo-jonah? (3x)
Whale did swallow Jonah, whale did swallow Jonah, whale did swallow Jonah down.
