About Yom Kippur
Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, is the holiest day in the Jewish calendar, falling on the tenth of Tishrei, ten days after Rosh Hashanah. It is observed with a 25-hour fast, intensive prayer, and abstention from work, as a day of repentance and reconciliation. In Israel public life largely stops. Because the Hebrew calendar is lunisolar, the Gregorian date moves within an autumn window from year to year. This countdown derives the date from the Hebrew calendar engine shipped on the site, the same one behind the Hebrew calendar converter.
Date rule: Tenth day of Tishrei in the Hebrew calendar.
