Yom Kippur 🙏

Yom Kippur is the holiest day of the year in Judaism. For traditional Jewish people, it is primarily centered on atonement and repentance. The day's main observances consist of full fasting and asceticism, both accompanied by extended prayer services (usually at synagogue) and sin confessions. Some minor Jewish denominations, such as Reconstructionist Judaism, focus less on sins and more on one's goals and accomplishments and setting yearly intentions.

 

Alongside the related holiday of Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur is one of the two components of the High Holy Days of Judaism. It is also the last of the Ten Days of Repentance. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yom_Kippur

 

Jews Praying in the Synagogue on Yom Kippur was painted by Polish-Jewish artist Maurycy Gottlieb in 1878. It depicts Jews in the middle of the Yom Kippur service, on one of the holiest days of the Jewish calendar.
