Yom Kippur is the most important day on the Jewish calendar which follows the Jewish New Year which is 10 days prior. It is called in English 'The day of atonement' because on this day the Jewish people are judged in heaven and forgiven for all their sins. The fate of every person is decided on this day for the year too. Yom Kippur starts on the night before at sunset and ends 25 hours later. We fast throughout that 25 hour period and pray in Synagogue most of the day wearing white as we are likened to angels. Hope i answered your question!

Day of Atonement on October 13 (commonly called Yom Kippur), which for Christians depicts the prophesied binding of Satan and his evil influence. The biblical Holy Day season is capped with the observance of the Festival of Tabernacles and The Last Great Day (observed October 18-25), which spiritually reflects the coming Kingdom of God.

Yom Kippur (IPA: [yÉm ËkɪpÉr]; Hebrew:××Ö¹× ×ִּפּ×ּר, IPA: [ËyÉm kiËpur]) is the Jewish holiday of the Day of Atonement. It falls on the tenth day of the Hebrew month of Tishri, the seventh[1] of the Religious Calendar.[2] (Leviticus 23:27-28) The Bible calls the day Yom HaKippurim (Hebrew, "Day of the Atonements"). It is one of the Yamim Noraim (Hebrew, "Days of Awe"). The day is commemorated with a 25-hour fast and intensive prayer.

The name "Yom Kippur" means "Day of Atonement," and that pretty much explains what the holiday is.

You spelled it correctly, it just need s to be capatalized, and it is rude to say shut up and get over it, oyu would not like it if I said that to you. And Yom Kipuur is the day of attonement, when we confess our sins to G-d.

first of all, inspite of your rudeness, you've spelled it right.
second, it is good that you wish to understand something new
Yom, in Hebrew, means DAY
KIPPUR means ATONEMENT
The Day of Atonement, as mentioned in the Bible.
now in order to understand that day, go search the Bible.
there you will find also the REASON an Atonement was needed...
bon voyage
