Yom Kippur (Yom Ki-POOR), also known as Day of Atonement, one of the eight Appointed Times of the LORD (Lev. 23) and considered the holiest day of the year by the Jewish people. Yom means “day” and Kippur means “atonement” or “covering.” 

Interesting facts:

• Yom Kippur is a day of fasting. No work is done on this day, including at home. Many people spend the day reviewing the past year and praying for forgiveness of their sins. At the end of the day they 'break-fast' with a celebratory meal.
• The book of Jonah is read during the afternoon service to remind people of God’s forgiveness and mercy.
