Yom Kippur, or the Day of Atonement, is the holiest day of the year for Judaists. Its central themes are atonement and repentance (to G‐d), and Jews traditionally observe this holiday with a 25‐hour period of fasting and intensive prayer, often spending most of the day in synagogue services. Yom Kippur completes the annual period known in Judaism as the High Holy Days (or sometimes “the Days of Awe”).
