Now that the apples and honey have been consumed, it’s time to turn our eyes (and our stomachs) towards Yom Kippur.
For some lucky few, that means granting forgiveness. For most of us, it means asking for it.
In any case, we should all be in repent-mode over the next week. If you need some inspiration you can turn to the Israel Film Center’s new streaming site, which is hosting a until September 26. Those of you who have trouble with the “S” word (sorry) can access different films centered around the theme of forgiveness, from Tiffany Schlain’s short “Making of a Mensch” to Marco Carmel’s “My Lovely Sister.”
For those looking even further ahead, watch Jason Hutt’s “Sukkah City.”
Good luck!
Did you know that only 2% of Forward readers donate to support our nonprofit newsroom? That 2% make it possible for millions to read the Forward without a paywall or subscription — removing any barriers to the full and fair Jewish story.
But while the Forward is free to read, it isn’t free to produce. Big stories — like deep dives into the antisemitism data, political scoops or reporting trips to college campuses — take months of research and fact-checking. All while we keep you informed of what you need to know each day.
