'High Holidays of Hope' event at JCC focuses on supporting neighbors during Yom Kippur
PITTSBURGH (KDKA) -- With Wednesday being Yom Kippur, the holiest day of the Jewish year, the community gathered at the Jewish Community Center in Squirrel Hill to learn how they can better support their neighbors.

Conversations at the event were highlighted with modern interpretations of the Yom Kippur confessional prayers.
