At TriHealth, one of our core values is respect for all people, differences and spiritual heritage. It's with this value in mind that we want to acknowledge the holy day of Yom Kippur and offer G'mar Chatima Tovah (pronounced gih-MAR chah-tee-MAH toe-VAH), which means "a good final sealing," to our physicians, team members and community members who are observing this holy day between Wednesday, September 15 and Thursday, September 16, 2021.

 

Otherwise known as the Day of Atonement, Yom Kippur is considered one of the holiest days in Judaism and commemorates when Moses came down from Mount Sinai after seeking God's divine forgiveness for the Israelites who sinned against him by worshipping a golden calf idol.

This year, Yom Kippur begins at sundown Wednesday, September 15 and ends Thursday evening, September 16, and will last for approximately 25 hours. Team members and physicians who observe Yom Kippur can participate in virtual or in-person services by following links to local Synagogues:
