About Yom Kippur Diary
“Yom Kippur Diary” Sinopsis: On Yom Kippur, the holiest day for the Jewish people, Daniela seeks connection and community in the virtual synagogue. A diary of the Day of forgiveness in times of Covid.I really want to share this video piece with Shmita. I did it last Yom Kipur, and it was my best try to connect with my community and God during this pandemic times. It was hard not being present in the conventional way. Two weeks ago my Rabbi, the one of the video, Baruj Plavnik passed away. This virtual moment was the last we shared together. Thank you for watching. Daniela.
