Frederic Pissarro (his father) in his letter in 1859, to his son Camille Pissarroon the eve of Yom Kippur, reminding him about the holiday; as quoted in 'Camille Pissarro, Rebbe of the Impressionists' by Menachem Wecker.
“
Your mother asks me to write to you to come and have dinner with us today. Because this is the evening when we celebrate 'la fete de Kipur' and on this solemn occasion the whole family should be together – and tomorrow not work, we should pass that day together.
— Frederic Pissarro
