“‘Yum, kipper!’—a Jewish man enjoying his breakfast on the Day of Atonement”

Yom Kippur (the Jewish Day of Atonement) shouldn’t be confused with kipper (a fish that is often eaten for breakfast), but there are jokes.

Wikipedia: Kipper
A kipper is a whole herring, a small, oily fish, that has been split in a butterfly fashion from tail to head along the dorsal ridge, gutted, salted or pickled, and cold-smoked over smouldering wood chips (typically oak).

In the United Kingdom, Republic of Ireland and some regions of North America, kippers are most commonly eaten for breakfast.
     
Wikipedia: Yom Kippur
Yom Kippur (/ˌjɒm kɪˈpʊər, ˌjɔːm ˈkɪpər, ˌjoʊm-/; Hebrew: יוֹם כִּפּוּר, Yōm Kippūr, [ˈjom kiˈpuʁ], lit. ‘Day of Atonement’) is the holiest day in Judaism and Samaritanism. It occurs annually on the 10th of Tishrei, corresponding to a secular date in September or early October.
