YOM KIPPUR: The Day of Atonement

Yom Kippur is often considered the holiest day of the Jewish year. This day of fasting, prayer, and introspection begins with Kol Nidre, a prayer that asks for absolution from vows, and ends with the Neilah prayer. In between is a liturgy that runs the emotional gamut, from the solemn to the celebratory.
