I don't know if that's correct, I don't speak Hebrew, but apparently it is the holiest day in Judaism today, and I'm pretty sure you're Jewish, so happy Yom Kippur. I think "Chag Kasher". Correct me if I'm wrong. Enjoy

Be blessed,

Jade

Hi, Jade,

You have just wished my a Happy Day of Atonement, which is what om Kippur is. Actually, the holiest day in Judaism is the Sabbath, which comes every Saturday. I'm not terribly religious, but these ancient traditions are always family affairs, and I love family!

Thanks for your kind thoughts. -----GK-----

Apparently, I don't type very well when I'm tired. Let's try that again:

You said the same thing! Came back to say Chag Kasher Sukkot. Perhaps you can spend even more time with your family for this. I didn't actually know this period was a thing until Ruchama told me about it. You probably know this but did you know Korman is a Jewish last name? According to Google. Of course you knew that. Anyway, remember Paige? Now I think to remind you "hello!" during every break. Happy Fall Break, Gord!
