The Jewish Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur in Hebrew) is a day for reflecting on one's life and the way in which one behaves. It is a day for self-examination and the seeking of forgiveness, both from God and from other people. We as Jews do not believe that Jesus was the promised Messiah, as we do not believe that he fulfilled any of the prophecies regarding the messiah (such as world peace, a universal knowlege of God, the rebuilding of the temple, etc.). This does not believe that we do not think that we are required to ask forgiveness, repent, or resolve to correct our behavior - we just don't have any reason to believe we require any sort of intermediary to do so. We also do not limit our asking for forgiveness to this one day, as we believe that this is an on-going process. Yom Kippur is simply a day on which self-examination in particular is emphasized.

G-d himself forgives us, He doesn't outsource it to any nonexistant son.
