Yom Kippur

  • Yom Kippur begins Friday, September 29 at sundown and extends until nightfall on Saturday, September 30.

  • Yom Kippur is the day of atonement and the holiest day on the Jewish calendar.

  • Tradition tells us that on Rosh Hashanah individuals may be “inscribed” in the Book of Life. On Yom Kippur the decree is “sealed”. Repentance, prayer and charity can positively affect the fate for the upcoming year.
