So I grew up in a lovely place called Cheedle, which is sort of a suburb of South Manchester.

My grandparents, on my father's side was some of the first Jews who moved to the area.

There was a synagogue, you know, not far down the road, and my dad was one of the first boys to be Bar Mitzvizvid in that synagogue when it first opened.

Abigail Radner is the Guardian's lifestyle editor, who grew up in South Manchester and has

now returned there to raise her young family.

And there was a Jewish school not far, which

remains the only Jewish primary school in South Manchester, which I attended for primary school

and where my own children now attend in a very full circle way. And it is something I'm very proud of today.

On the morning of the 2nd of October, she was at home, marking the day of Yom Kippur,

the holiest day of the Jewish calendar, getting ready to go to synagogue or shul.

Even if you're not particularly religious or particularly observant, which I'm not,

Yom Kippur is such a big day for Jews. We go to synagogue, both the evening before,

which is a special service called Kolnidre and the day of. It involves fasting for 25 hours.

And it's a real day of reflection.

It's about atonement.

It's about looking inward.
