Yom Kippur Activities and Recipes
Activities:
- Before Yom Kippur begins, as a family write something from the past year that you would do away with. Then burn the papers in the flame of a candle as a symbol of a new start or write out on a paper the times that you missed the mark and throw the paper into a garbage can.
- Wear white on Yom Kippur to represent purity and a new beginning.
- Donate Tzedakah before Yom Kipppur.
Shalom Dove:
White card stock, colored pencils, scissors
- Outline dove onto card stock paper.
- Cut out dove.
- Decorate dove by writing ways to “make shalom” with colored pencils on the dove. For example “share toys and games”, “Respect each other, “ “Don’t shout”.
Note: This project relates to Yom Kippur because it enables children to reflect on the past, and to try to do things “better” in the New Year.
