Rosh Hashanah being New Year and the first of the month.the name Yom Kippur means Day of Atonement,and that is what it is.a day set aside to afflict the soul.to atone for sins committed during the past year.

Yom Kippur atones only for sins against God,any sins against other people must be atoned for before the fast.Yom Kippur is a sabbath no work may be performed on the day,and a complete fast,no eating or drinking,even water.there are also other restrictions.no washing or bathing. no cosmetics or deodorants. no wearing leather shoes,and of course no s*xual relations.these restrictions can be lifted where threat to life or health are involved. children under nine and women in childbirth are not permitted to

to fast even if they want to.Most of the holiday is spent in the schul in prayer. in orthodox synagogues services start about 8 or 9 am and finish about 3pm.people normally go home for a rest and return about 5 for the evening services,which continue until nightfall. the service does with the blowing of the tekiah gedolah,a single long blast on the shofar.the ceremonial rams horn
