Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, is the most solemn day of the Jewish year. It falls ten days after Rosh Hashanah and closes the High Holy Days. Many observe it by fasting from sundown to sundown, spending the day in synagogue, and seeking to repair relationships harmed over the past year.
This crossword covers the vocabulary of the day through clues about ATONEMENT, TESHUVAH, the Hebrew word for repentance, and KOLNIDRE, the prayer that opens the evening service.
Use this crossword alongside a discussion of apology and repair, themes students recognize from their own lives. Ask what makes an apology meaningful rather than automatic.
