Yom Kippur for Hebrew Year 4874 began on and ended on .
Yom Kippur (Hebrew: יוֹם כִּפּוּר or יום הכִפּוּרִים), also known as the Day of Atonement, is the holiest day of the year in Judaism. Its central themes are atonement and repentance, observed through a 25-hour fast and extended prayer services in synagogues. Alongside Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur is one of the two High Holy Days, representing the culmination of the Ten Days of Repentance. Jewish tradition teaches that during this period G‑d inscribes each person’s fate for the coming year, with the verdict sealed on Yom Kippur itself.
