Description
What is Yom Kippur, and how do you observe Yom Kippur if you’re a beginner? In this Yom Kippur guide, I walk you through the meaning, traditions, fasting rules, prayers and customs of the Day of Atonement, the holiest day of the Jewish year.
We’ll talk about what teshuvah really means, why Jews wear white on Yom Kippur, the five Yom Kippur prohibitions, Kol Nidre, the Vidui confession, who should and should not fast, and the final Ne’ilah prayer and shofar blast that close the day.
Whether you’ve observed Yom Kippur every year of your life or you’ve never stepped inside a synagogue for the High Holidays, this is a warm, practical Yom Kippur for beginners guide to what happens, what the prayers mean, and what this extraordinary day is really about.
Because here’s the thing about rupture and repair: if you cut a rope in the middle, you don’t have a rope anymore. But tie it back together — and the strongest place on that rope is right where the knot is.

A NOTE ON YOM KIPPUR FASTING
Jewish law is clear that if fasting would leave you medically compromised, you should not fast — and if the risk is real, you may not. Please speak to your doctor and your rabbi. Taking care of your body is G-d’s will, not a loophole.

HI, I’M RIVKA MALKA
Thanks for being here!
I’m a Jewish educator, speaker, blogger and Transformation Coach, and the Founder of The Redemption School of Coaching and Transformation, Redemption Retreats and SoulShine Coaching.
There’s a gift inside of us that is so big it can nourish the world. There is something for us to teach, to be, to embody that is literally the purpose of our existence.
I help women go beneath the surface and walk through the fire as they grow into the leaders they were meant to be — cultivating inner wisdom, understanding our purpose, and seeing how our situation is preparing us for the great future G-d has in mind for us.
The women I work with are passionate about growth and self-awareness. All women are leaders — some in their office, some in their home, some of entire cities. We’re emotionally healthy, creative, big dreamers, and above all committed to living lives of purpose.
Through my videos and programs, women catapult their business or personal life into realms of influence, impact and inspiration. They change their marriages, heal from trauma, release resentment, find freedom from limiting beliefs and deepen their connection to G-d.
It’s time to literally reinvent yourself.
