Learn English with EnglishPod101.com! Your American host family tells you that they are Jewish, so they must fast for the next day. They hand you some American dollars and tell you that you should treat yourself to some fast food while they aren’t cooking. The one thing your American host family’s five-year-old son asks is that you eat at the restaurant: he tells you in English that if you bring the food home, it will be impossible for him to resist the french fries!

In this lesson, you will learn how Jewish Americans celebrate Yom Kippur. We’ll explain the importance of this holiday on the Jewish calendar, and we’ll tell you how Americans who observe this holiday may differ from others around the world.
