This Religion and worldviews video introduces Yom Kippur, the Jewish Day of Atonement, providing key background knowledge to support your teaching of this unit. You’ll learn about its timing, traditions and significance as a period of reflection, repentance and renewal. The video explores practices such as fasting, prayer and the blowing of the shofar, helping you explain how these express Jewish beliefs about forgiveness, reconciliation and making amends.

It builds your subject knowledge, addresses common misconceptions, and prepares you to guide pupils in understanding how Jewish people express faith through actions and reflection, and how ideas of forgiveness connect across different worldviews.
