6 Books for Yom Kippur
Yom Kippur begins this evening at sunset. While many non-Jewish people put an emphasis on Hanukkah, Yom Kippur is one of the most important holidays of the Jewish faith. Although I’ve created a book list for Rosh Hashanah, twice! I’ve never created a book list for Yom Kippur. So today’s the day, here are 6 books for Yom Kippupr!
I love getting the chance to share book lists about different cultures and holidays! I love this list because it includes nonfiction, a biography, picture books, and even a chapter book. Not only do I love books that teach kids new information, but also books that are diverse without being about diversity.
