Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme

A Holy Day

  
     Yom Kippur is a Holy Day
       where Jews wear wings of angels
     Prayer shawls cov'ring cloaks of white
       elevate Kol Nidre night

    On this day we do not eat or drink
       giving us more time to think
     'bout how to make the world a better place
       ~ May acts of kindness hate displace
