I have a Dr. Appt with a new doc this Friday 0917
I believe it is a Jewish holiday - can anyone give me a clue? I'd like to be respectful. And maybe present him with something small but meaningful. Hints? I apprediate your input.

2. Thank you
to oversimplify, I'm sure, do I just wish him "happy Yom Kippur"? He's my new doctor. I just want to be respectful.

3. Yom Kippur is a fast day
and also the day of atonement. I don't think "Happy Yom Kippur" is appropriate. There are celebrations around it, but Yom Kippur itself is quite solemn. When I was a kid, my Jewish friends always stayed home on Rosh Hoshannah & Yom Kippur.
