Yom Kippur begins on the night of the 10th day of the seventh month/ new moon. This is a day to afflict our souls by doing no work at all, and a day where, our sins would be atoned for by the blood of animals through the high priest.
Yom Kippur is a traditional fast day, and whether or not you are fasting, here are some meal ideas. Meal ideas for either before or after the fast or during if you are not fasting.
I wanted meal ideas that can be quick and easy for either case. I hope you have some inspiration or ideas from these meals!
Grain bowls
I love grain bowls, especially when they include farro and roasted veggies. Farro is an ancient grain and tastes kind of like barley but better. Grain bowls can be eaten cold or reheated for an easy and filling lunch or dinner option.

Salads
You might know that I love salads, they are a must for any dinner, and the High Holidays are no exception! Greek salads and chickpea salads are my favorite. Perfect as a side or as a mini-meal.

Soups
Beef and barley soup and butternut squash soup are my favorite kind of soups. I discovered butternut squash last year and I made it so many times before it went out of season. I like a more savory butternut squash soup, so my version only includes- butternut squash, potatoes, onions, chicken broth, and spices. The butternut squash has a sweetness of its own that I feel like doesn’t need to be enhanced.

Sandwiches

Kippur starts on the 9th at evening and ends on the 10th at evening of the 7th month read verse 32 again.
Yes, but Elohim mentioned the 10th day every other time. The 9th day is only mentioned once so we observe Yom Kippur on the 10th evening.
