Hey Rabbah Sara Hurwitz, first female Orthodox rabbi, what is your favorite Jewish holiday?
Yom Kippur. I consider myself a Yom Kippur Jew. I think having the opportunity to have a day engaged in prayer and reconnection to God is a gift, and to not focus on one’s physical self, but to have a clean slate and to think about [one’s] past self and future is something people take for granted, but it is a gift.
