Yom Kippur
When: Date varies, sunset of October 8, 2008, September 27, 2009, September 17, 2010, October 7, 2011
"Yom Kippur" means "Day of Atonement". Appropriately, people set aside this day to atone for sins they have committed. It is a day of prayer, fasting, and a time to attend the synagogue. Jewish people will also not work on this day, one of the most important days in the Jewish calendar. During Yom Kippur, people seek forgiveness from God, and seek to give and receive forgiveness and reconciliation with others. Yom Kippur always occurs ten days after Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year.
Did you know? Yom Kippur and Rosh Hashanah are the only Jewish holidays
that do not have roots in a historical religious event. More Information: The Fall Festivals of Israel- Yom Kippur Customs of Erev Yom Kippur the day before Yom Kippur- Jewish Virtual Library Yom Kippur, a page for kids
