Yom Kippur, the most sacred Jewish holiday, a day of fasting and atonement observed in autumn.
From Hebrew 'Yom Kippur,' where 'yom' means day and 'kippur' derives from the verb 'kafar,' meaning to atone or cover sin. It has been observed for thousands of years as a solemn religious observance.
Yom Kippur is one of the only times the entire Jewish community stops almost all activities—even driving and electricity use—to focus purely on reflection and spiritual renewal, making it the most important day in the Jewish calendar.
