Yom Kippur Party Planning
Yom Kippur festival is celebrated after the Great War fought between the Israelites and the Arabs which was a long war. They just keep this day for prayers and a fast and this is later followed by a Yom Kippur feast and party. The party planning for this day is usually kept traditional.
You can do some party planning and arrange some traditional activities at your party and traditional Jewish food. Erev is had for drink and food. There is a lot of visiting to friends and relatives, there is a ritual bath called Mikvah nangd there is an afternoon service called Mincha in which Viduy or confession happens. Find some creative ways to incorporate these in your party. Everyone can come dressed in white. Then there can be atonement by everyone for any wrongs done through the year.
Have charity which is true to the spirit of Yom Kippur which every one finds a way of doing, within the party or as an extension at some time in the day, be it bathing dogs at a shelter or giving donations to some trust and various other ways can be found. Games like Jeopardy and Pirate Scavenger hunts can be played.
The richness of Jewish tradition could be highlighted by wearing Jewish clothes and singing Jewish songs by all the guests. The struggle of the Jewish people through the centuries should be talked about.
So celebrate this festival the Jewish way and imbibe some of their qualities along with.
