The exact date of Yom Kippur 2031

Yom Kippur 2031 falls on Thursday, September 25, 2031. That is a Thursday, a regular working weekday in most countries. It is the 268th day of 2031 and sits in ISO week 39. If you are planning around it, the day of the week matters as much as the date itself, because it decides whether the observance creates a long weekend, a midweek pause, or a day that has to be moved under local substitute-holiday rules.

With Yom Kippur on a Thursday, one day of leave on the Friday creates a four-day weekend, a popular bridge-day move.

Compared with 2030, when it fell on October 5, Yom Kippur 2031 moves about 10 days earlier in the Gregorian calendar. This drift is normal for a holiday tied to a lunar or lunisolar calendar rather than a fixed civil date.

About Yom Kippur

Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, is the holiest day of the Jewish year. It falls on the tenth day of Tishrei, ten days after Rosh Hashanah, and closes the High Holy Days. Many Jewish communities observe it with fasting, intensive prayer, repentance, and abstention from ordinary work. Synagogue services and communal reflection are central to the day. Since the Hebrew calendar is lunisolar, Yom Kippur's Gregorian date changes each year while remaining in September or October. This page uses timekit's existing 2026-2035 religious holidays data, generated by the Hebrew calendar engine. In religious observance, Yom Kippur begins at sundown on the previous Gregorian date.
