Getting Ready for Yom Kippur with Mayim Bialik

Some people know her as Amy Farrah Fowler from The Big Bang Theory or as Blossom​, but Mayim Bialik is also a​ neuroscientist, ​mom, and a self-proclaimed aspiring “super Jew!”  

Here she is to help us get ready for Yom Kippur. So what is Yom Kippur

Yom Kippur, the Jewish Day of Atonement, traditionally is one of the most somber days on the calendar. On this day, Jews ask forgiveness for the wrong they have committed over the past year. It’s famous for fasting, repentance and refraining from other bodily pleasures. 

Or as Mayim Bialik says, “Yom Kippur comes in like a wrecking ball that comes in and takes away your food, and your sex, and your awesome leather shoes.” Also, you can’t moisturize. You'll have to watch to find out more. 

A SPECIAL NOTE FOR NEW EMAIL SUBSCRIBERS:  THE VIDEO MAY NOT BE VIEWABLE DIRECTLY FROM THE EMAIL THAT YOU GET EACH DAY ON SOME COMPUTERS AND TABLETS.  YOU MUST CLICK ON THE TITLE AT THE TOP OF THE EMAIL TO REACH THE JEWISH HUMOR CENTRAL WEBSITE, FROM WHICH YOU CLICK ON THE PLAY BUTTON IN THE VIDEO IMAGE TO START THE VIDEO.
