SUMMARY:Yom Kippur
DESCRIPTION:Join us to commemorate and learn about Yom Kippur the holiest day in Judaism.  \n\n\n\nPrimarily centered on atonement and repentance\, the day’s main observances consist of full fasting and ascetic behavior accompanied by long prayer services in synagogue\, as well as sin confessions. \n\n\n\nYom Kippur is one of the two High Holy Days\, or Days of Awe (Hebrew yamim noraim)\, alongside Rosh Hashana (which falls nine days previously). According to Jewish tradition\, on Rosh Hashanah God inscribes each person’s fate for the coming year into the Book of Life and waits until Yom Kippur to “seal” the verdict. \n\n\n\nAlongside the related holiday of Rosh Hashanah\, Yom Kippur is one of the two components of the “High Holy Days” of Judaism. It is also the last day of the Ten Days of Repentance.

SUMMARY:International Day of People with Disability
DESCRIPTION:International Day of People with Disability (IDPwD) is held on 3 December each year. \n\n\n\nIDPwD is a United Nations (UN) day observed internationally. It aims to promote community awareness\, understanding and acceptance of people with disability. \n\n\n\nEach year the UN announces a theme for IDPwD. The theme provides a focus for how society can strive for inclusivity through removing barriers for people with disability. This has been occurring since 1992 when the General Assembly announced 3 December as the International Day of Disabled Persons. \n\n\n\nThe theme for IDPwD 2022 was ‘Transformative solutions for inclusive development: the role of innovation in fuelling an accessible and equitable world’. \n\n\n\nThe official United Nations theme for 2023 will be announced later this year. \n\n\n\nIn Australia\, IDPwD is a joint effort between government\, schools\, organisations\, community groups\, businesses and individuals. \n\n\n\nIDPwD is an opportunity to be part of creating an inclusive and diverse community for the 4.4 million Australians with disability. \n\n\n\nThe Australian Government through the Department of Social Services funds a national program to help promote and raise awareness of this day.
