Videos on Jewish music and the Chanukah and what is Judaism
The Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur)Yom Kippur is the holiest day of the year to most of the Jews. it is a day for atonement and reconciliation. "This is accomplished through prayer and complete fasting - including abstinence from all food and drink (including water), unless fasting is prohibited for medical reasons.Bathing, wearing of perfume or cologne, wearing of leather shoes, and sexual relations are some of the other prohibitions on Yom Kippur - all them designed to ensure one's attention is completely and absolutely focused on the quest for atonement with God."
The Jewish New Year (Rosh Hashanah)"According to oral tradition, Rosh Hashanah is the Jewish new year, day of memorial and the day of judgment, in which God judges each person individually according to their deeds, and makes a decree for the following year."
The Feast of Dedication (Chanukah)this is one of the few holidays that are not associated with the Exodus. There were only a small available oil for lighting the temple that should have only lasted for a day but miraculously the candle lit for eight days, so in remembrance of that event, Jews light a candle each day for eight days during the Chanukah.
