Facebook Founder Mark Zuckerberg Sends Public Yom Kippur Apology – The Day After

Facebook Founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg flaunted his Jewish identity once again. In a special post that the billionaire sent out in honor of Yom Kippur, the social media guru said, Tonight concludes Yom Kippur, the holiest day of the year for Jews when we reflect on the past year and ask forgiveness for our mistakes. For those I hurt this year, I ask forgiveness and I will try to be better. For the ways my work was used to divide people rather than bring us together, I ask forgiveness and I will work to do better. May we all be better in the year ahead, and may you all be inscribed in the book of life.

Two weeks ago Zuckerberg posted a number of photos with some text showing his pride in his familys Shabbat observance including giving his daughter Max a kiddush cup from his great-great-grandfather. For shabbat tonight, we gave Max a kiddush cup that has been in our family for almost 100 years. Her great-great-grandfather Max got it after our family immigrated here and it has been passed down through our family ever since. The post included pictures of Shabbat candles the family lit and Challah that they had made.

Zuckerburg has two daughters, Max and August, with wife Priscilla Chan.

    Unfortunately, Max is about as Jewish as the Pope. I hope he does not consider making kiddush for his father anytime soon. Nebach on yet another Jewish soul.

    Said that his kids aren’t Yidden. It seems like he has some feelings for yiddishkeit.
