Hello gentiles I come bearing another announcment!
Do not wish Jews a "happy Yom Kippur." Yom Kippur is the holiest day of the year and the Day of Atonement. It's a day where we fast (if we choose to and are able), and ask for forgiveness from God and those around us for our wrongdoings of the past year. Saying "happy Yom Kippur" is inappropriate due to the nature of the holiday. If you know someone fasting, wishing them an easy fast is appropriate and traditional.
An appropriate thing to say if you don't know if someone is fasting or not (and it's not of your business whether they are or aren't) is "Have a meaningful Yom Kippur".
Yom Kippur starts on Sunday night, and ends Monday night. (September 24-25th, 2023)
Many Jewish holidays are happy. This is not one of them. Yom Kippur is a solemn holiday. Your Jewish friends may be in synagogue essentially the entire day (especially if they're more observant, or part of the Conservative or Orthodox denominations). There's a lot of self-reflection and the entire day has a very serious tone.
Reblogging again with this resource for people who want more detail on what to say and why
