Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, as the holiest and most solemn day of the Hebrew year. Falling on the 10th of the Hebrew month Tishrei, ten days after Rosh Hashannah (the Hebrew new year), Yom Kippur brings to an end the ten High Holy Days which Jews spend trying to put right any wrongs they may have committed in the previous year, paying off debts and generally trying to atone for anything bad or questionable that they might have done and praying for G-d's forgiveness. The day itself is marked by a 25 hour fast, and observant Jews will spend all day in synagogue. At the end, if a Jew knows in his or heart that he or she has truly done all that they can do to atone, then he or she considers himself absolved by G-d.
