<b>Yom Kippur</b>, or The Day of Atonement, is the Jewish holiday when, following [[Rosh Hashanah]], the new year in the [[Jewish calendar]], a ten-day period of self-evaluation and repentance culminates in a public recitation of sins. If successful, the Jew is "inscribed" in the book of life for another year of life. The ten-day period is call the Ten Days of Repentance.
Yom Kippur, besides the [[Sabbath]], is the holiest day in the Jewish calendar. It is marked by fasting and, for Orthodox Jews, day-long attendance in the synagogue. The holiday begins with the [[Kol Nidre]] service on the previous day at sundown, the eve of Yom Kippur.
