According to Wikipedia<\/a>: Yom Kippur (Hebrew: \u05d9\u05d5\u05b9\u05dd \u05db\u05b4\u05bc\u05e4\u05bc\u05d5\u05bc\u05e8\u200e, IPA: [\u02c8jom ki\u02c8pur]), also known as the Day of Atonement, is one of the holiest days of the year for Jews. Its central themes are atonement and repentance. Jews traditionally observe this holy day 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.<\/p>\n

Yom Kippur is the tenth day of the month of Tishrei. According to Jewish tradition, God inscribes each person’s fate for the coming year into a book, the Book of Life, on Rosh Hashanah, and waits until Yom Kippur to “seal” the verdict. During the Days of Awe, a Jew tries to amend his or her behavior and seek forgiveness for wrongs done against God (bein adam leMakom) and against other human beings (bein adam lechavero). The evening and day of Yom Kippur are set aside for public and private petitions and confessions of guilt (Vidui). At the end of Yom Kippur, one considers one’s self absolved by God.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
