Yom Kippur coloring pages are a neat way to teach kids values of introspection, seeking forgiveness and working on being better human beings.
Yom Kippur or the Day of Atonement is one of the most solemn Jewish holidays. According to the Jewish tradition, each person's fate for the year is inscribed into the book by God. The writing is said to start with Rosh Hashanah and end with Yom Kippur. The ten day period in between, known as the Days of Awe, is spent in realization of past wrongs, seeking forgiveness and working on repentance. Jews traditionally observe this holy day of Yom Kippur with a 25-hour period of fasting and intensive prayer, often spending most of the day in synagogue services. Aren't these perfect values for children to inculcate!
