Shalom! I hope you had a very meaningful Rosh Hashanah and that 5772 will be a good and sweet year for us all. Yom Kippur is almost upon us and this week's article explores the significance of Yom Kippur, Judaism's holiest day.
Yom Kippur The Day of Atonement
Yom Kippur the Day of Atonement, is the holiest day on the Jewish calendar. Yom Kippur is one of the most widely observed of Jewish holidays, marked by a solemn, 25-hour fast and several other prohibitions. Yom Kippur concludes the Eisarah Yamei T'shuvah or Ten Days of Repentance.
