One of TriHealth’s core values is respect for all people, differences, and spiritual heritage. Celebrating holidays across a broad spectrum is important in honoring all religions for team members. 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 team members, physicians and community members who are observing this period of atonement between the evening of Tuesday, October 4 and the evening of Wednesday, October 5, 2022.
Yom Kippur, otherwise known as the Day of Atonement, is the holiest day 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. The 25-hour period encourages intense self-reflection, brings family and friends closer, and helps you reconcile with God.
