Jewish Holidays - Yom Kippur

What: Yom Kippur is the holiest day of the year, when we are closest to G‑d and to the essence of our being - our souls. Yom Kippur means "Day of Atonement," as the Torah states, "For on this day He will forgive you, to purify you, that you be cleansed from all your sins before G‑d..."

When: It is held on the 10th day of Tishrei, following Rosh Hashanah (the Jewish New Year, which is on the first and second days of Tishrei)..

How: For about 26 hours we "afflict our souls": we abstain from food and drink, do not wash our body or apply lotions or creams, do not wear leather shoes, and abstain from marital relations. Instead, we spend the day in synagogue, praying and asking for forgiveness.
