SUMMARY:Yom Kippur
DESCRIPTION:Join us to commemorate and learn about Yom Kippur the holiest day in Judaism.  \n\n\n\nPrimarily centered on atonement and repentance\, the day’s main observances consist of full fasting and ascetic behavior accompanied by long prayer services in synagogue\, as well as sin confessions. \n\n\n\nYom Kippur is one of the two High Holy Days\, or Days of Awe (Hebrew yamim noraim)\, alongside Rosh Hashana (which falls nine days previously). According to Jewish tradition\, on Rosh Hashanah God inscribes each person’s fate for the coming year into the Book of Life and waits until Yom Kippur to “seal” the verdict. \n\n\n\nAlongside the related holiday of Rosh Hashanah\, Yom Kippur is one of the two components of the “High Holy Days” of Judaism. It is also the last day of the Ten Days of Repentance.
