Today is Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement!
Biblically speaking, this day is the holiest of the year.
The first Believers fasted on Yom Kippur, and according to the Brit Chadashah (New Testament) Yeshua (Jesus) perfectly fulfilled this day when He died for our sins. (Hebrews 8–10)
Here in Israel and in Jewish communities around the world, everyone is in their local synagogue.
Even many secular Jews who don’t observe other Jewish holidays consider this day, with its themes of atonement and repentance, significant.
“It shall be a statute to you forever: in the seventh month, on the tenth day of the month, you shall afflict your souls, and shall do no kind of work, the native-born, or the stranger who lives as a foreigner among you.” (Leviticus 16:29)
