Yom Kippur
2025
October 1-2
There are several names for Yom Kippur, “Sabbath of all Sabbaths,” “Day of Atonement”, and Yom Din, “Day of Judgment.” Yom Kippur is a most significant Holy Day. It is a fast day when we are moved to repair our relationship with G-d and restore relations with those whom we have wronged.
Kol Nidre, which commences the holy day, pronounces, “On Rosh Hashanah it is inscribed, and on Yom Kippur it is sealed.” With this declaration we enter the most solemn day of the year when our fate is determined on High.
On Yom Kippur day we say Yizkor prayers for the dead.
We recall those who gave us life and enriched it by their teachings and love. Remembrance is the key to redemption. You can include the names of those who passed from this world in the memorial book used during Yizkor.
