About Yom Kippur 2026
Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, is the holiest day in the Jewish calendar. It concludes the ten-day period of repentance that begins with Rosh Hashanah.
The day is observed with a 25-hour fast and intensive prayer services. Jews seek forgiveness for sins committed over the past year and make amends with those they may have wronged.
Yom Kippur is a solemn and reflective day, focused on spiritual renewal, repentance, and reconciliation with God and others.
