The evening of Wednesday, September 15th marks the beginning of one of the holiest and most important days of the year for the Jewish community, Yom Kippur. #YomKippur
Yom Kippur is known as the Day of Atonement, and according to tradition, it is on this day that God decides each person's fate. For many in the Jewish community, Yom Kippur and the days leading up to it are viewed as a period of introspection and repentance. #YomKippur
Since the early days of #Durham, Jewish faith and culture have been part of our history. In the 1870's, Jewish merchants came to Durham to establish retail stores. #YomKippur
Many of these merchants lived around Pine Street in the Hayti neighborhood, and had their businesses located on Main Street. In 1905, the Durham Hebrew Congregation purchased a small, wood-framed church on liberty street, which became Durham's first synagogue. #YomKippur
The Durham Chapel Hill Jewish Federation now estimates that the local Jewish community has reached 11,000 people!

In recognition of this important Jewish holy day, and out of love and respect for the Jewish members in our community I'd like to say G'mar chatima tova. #YomKippur
