Pinocchio

When I think about Yom Kippur, I think about Pinocchio. What? Why Pinocchio? He’s probably most famous for his nose that gets longer every time he tells a lie. And yes, you could draw a connection to Yom Kippur, as we strive to be transparent about our sins. (They will find us out, after all.) But that’s not the most important thing about him. The most important thing is that Pinocchio was a wooden puppet who wanted to become a real boy.
