What is the parsha for Yom Kippur?

Both morning and afternoon Torah readings come from parsha Acharei Mos.

The morning reading starts at the beginning of the parsha, and details the Yom Kippur

service of the Kohen Gadol in the mishkan and later in the Beit Hamikdash, including the

korbanos, the entry into the kodshei kodoshim, the goat to Azazel, etc. The morning

reading is rendered in the special nusach of the Yomim Noraim.

The reading for minchah is a selection from later in the same parsha, where the various

forbidden marriage relationships are listed ... possibly in recognition of the fact that Yom Kippur

in ancient times was a kind of "Sadie Hawkins" day, when the gals approached the boys

and there was considerable merriment. The reading in the afternoon is rendered in the

regular nusach of the Torah trop year-around. The afternoon haftara is the entire book

of Jonah, complete with giant fish, withered gourd, dry bones, etc. It's enough to take

your mind off of hunger.
