Teshuvah (Repentance) Time!
Yom Kippur, also known as Day of Atonement, is the holiest day of the year for the people of Israel. Its central themes are atonement and repentance. Jewish people 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 the Hebrew Bible as the High Holy Days or Yamim Nora'im ("Days of Awe"). Yom Kippur is the tenth day of the month of Tishrei.
