Tomorrow night begins Yom Kippur
On the afternoon before Yom Kippur, tomorrow, eat a festive meal with your family. Light Candles with special blessings

Grown ups do not eat, that is called fasting.
So that their minds will be clear for thinking and praying
Kids should not have sweets and candy, as Yom Kippur is a very serious day.

On Yom Kippur we say "I'm sorry!" and try to find ways to become better people

At the end of the day, the whole congregation recites the Shema and a few other verses out loud together, then the shofar is sounded for one long blast. After that we say: "Next Year in Jerusalem." We then recite the evening services and the fast is over.
