Yom Kippur was next. Morah taught us that this is a very serious day. Mommies and Daddies go to the shul to daven to Hashem and ask for it to be a sweet and good new year. Our class knows that adults don't eat or drink on this holiday because they are too busy davening to Hashem. Before Yom Kippur we take time to say 'I'm Sorry' to anyone we may have done something wrong to. Saying sorry can be very difficult for anyone (not just the children). Morah made a chart in our classroom and we were able to earn stickers each time we said sorry to a friend when we needed to. Our class read the book The Hardest Word. In the book it tell us that they hardest thing to say is 'I'm Sorry'. Rabbi Naftoli came into our classroom with a chicken and he explained that we give our sins (not good things we did all year) to the chicken and that it goes to Hashem in a way to say we are sorry. This is called Kapparot.
