Yom Kippur Slippers

During Yom Kippur it is forbidden to wear leather shoes so slippers or canvas shoes are often worn instead. Include your child in this holiday tradition by helping them create Yom Kippur slippers that are permissible to wear and fun to decorate. If you find the cardboard recommended in this pattern too difficult to work with we suggest using craft foam as it’s more pliable and at times easier to cut than cardboard.

I thought this would be fun to do with the kids .... since we pray alot of Yom kippur I will post my own pics of these projects as we do them.... both of these cam from pintrest.
for more projects and such for all the fall feasts watch my pintrest
