Yom Kippur (Jewish)

Yom Kippur, also known as the Jewish Day of Atonement, is the holiest day of the year in Judaism. Yom Kippur begins at sundown on the first day and ends in the evening on the second day. Many Jewish families and communities will spend the day fasting, attending synagogue or observing the holiday in other meaningful ways. This offers a time for Jews to reflect on sins or wrongdoings from the previous year. Another important observance is the blowing of the shofar, an ancient musical horn typically made of a ram's horn, which is sounded ceremonially to conclude Yom Kippur.
