According to a press release from Freeform, "Shadowhunters" season 2, episode 16 will show Simon trying to prepare for a family dinner in celebration of the Jewish Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur). Yom Kippur happens on the 1oth day of Tishri, the jewfaq.org website indicates. The Tishri is the first month of the civil and the seventh of the religious year. It usually falls during September and October on the Gregorian calendar.
The Jewish Day of Atonement is the most important holiday of the Jewish year. During this time, Jews who do not observe other Jewish customs will fast, refrain from work and/or attend synagogue services.
This year will be especially hard for Simon since he has become a vampire. Aside from that, he has to control his urges as a vampire. Sensing his problem, Maia (Alisha Wainwright) will insist on helping Simon get through this day, even if he won't ask for her aid. Plus, Jace and Clary will go on a mission that will be unsanctioned. They will try to test out their new rune powers. This episode was directed by former "The Vampire Diaries" (TVD) star Paul Wesley. He played the vampire-turned-human Stefan Salvatore in The CW series which wrapped up on March 10.
