Yom Kippur is the most important Jewish [holy]day (holiday). It is celebrated by practically all Jews. They fast for 25 hours. The holiday is a day pf repentance and atonement. The cool thing about Yom Kippur is that it is a day of repentance and atonement privately. You don't have to repent to a rabbi (Jewsish priest). The repentance is based on yourself and to the people that you harmed. You could either repent spiritually or to the people that you harmed. After the services on Yom Kippur you break your fast, some people break their fast with another family in their community.

Yom Kipper is considered to be the holiest holiday in the entire Jewish Calendar Year. This is supposed to be a day where they pray and ask for forgiveness and as well to ask for health and as well for prosperity. Basically it is to start the New Year fresh. It is a day where you are supposed to reframe from food for 25 hours, and to be in meditation and in prayer for the entire time.

It is a week after the jewish new year Rosh Hashunah. Yom Kippur is a time where the jews can tell god all there sins so you can go to the book of life. It is apart of the High Holidays

It is the holiest day in the Jewish year. The Day of Atonement when the sins of the people are forgiven and their fate for the coming year is sealed. People fast from sunset to sundown the following day, approximately 25 hours. The days is spent praying for forgiveness and for a good year.

It's a religious observance for Jews. Yom Kippur is the Day of Atonement. I'm Catholic, and I know this.

It's the happiest of Jewish holidays, when we get forgiven.
