Dual images of Yom Kippur
On Friday afternoon (shortly before Yom Kippur) I saw our neighbor’s son outside with a brand new bicycle. Previously he had been riding his older sister’s pink bike. I said to him ooh….a new bicycle, did you get it for your birthday? His response “no, for Yom Kippur.”
To get a better understand of that phenomena, take a look at this article. (Read down to the bottom)

LOL and in Jerusalem of all places.

Love your site here, and I thought it was funny when I read that parents gave their daughter a bike for Yom Kippur. Actually, it’s not funny…it’s sad. L’Shalom, Daniel
