About Yom Kippur
Yom Kippur, known as the Day of Atonement, is the holiest day in Judaism. Observant Jews engage in a day-long fast and intensive prayer to seek forgiveness for their sins and reconciliation with God. It marks the conclusion of the Ten Days of Repentance that begin with Rosh Hashanah.
