During the afternoon service of Yom Kippur, it is traditional to read the Book of Jonah. This narrative teaches that sincere repentance can alter a harsh decree. We have included several pages showing the prophet Jonah and the great fish, which are especially engaging for younger children. Coloring these scenes provides a quiet, focused activity during the long afternoon hours of the fast.
