Yom Kippur
Day of Atonement
10 Tishrei (Sept / Oct)
Marking the end of the ten days of repentance, Yom Kippur is the Day of Atonement, observed by twenty-five hours of fasting and prayer to be cleansed of sin.
Yom Kippur begins at sundown with an evening service called Kol Nidre, ‘All Vows,’ which is commonly preceded by a large meal, the last meal before the start of the fast.
