Yom Kippur, or the “Day of Atonement”, is the holiest day on the Jewish Calendar. For devout Jews in Canada and around the world, Yom Kippur is the most important Holiday, beyond Hanukkah or even the Passover. Many Jews will spend the entire day in fasting, praying and other observances.
In 2024 Yom Kippur begins at sundown on October 11, and ends at nightfall on October 12. (This is according to the Gregorian Calendar, while the lunar Jewish Calendar it is on the 10th of Tishrei, year 5785.)
