I'm Sorry for the Bagel Burps: A Yom Kippur Apology

A very funny yet heartfelt sibling story about Yom Kippur apologies, just right for high holiday sharing.

Benji's older brother, Aaron, is fasting on Yom Kippur for the first time, and doing plenty of bragging about being more grown-up than his little brother. It's so irritating to Benji that he decides to rub his own eating in Aaron's face all day long--with a cream-cheese-scented burp during services, a mouth full of ice cream in the afternoon, and other attempts to make Aaron miserable in his hunger.

But Yom Kippur is about repenting for the things we've done wrong. Will Benji find a way to apologize to Aaron? And will Aaron return the favor?
