Yom Kippur is a total fast, observant Jews do not eat or drink anything for about 25 hours, from sunset on the eve of Yom Kippur to nightfall the next night. The tradition also bans wearing of leather, wearing perfume, and bathing during that period. (If someone's health is endangered, however, the fast must be broken.) The Yom Kippur liturgy is long, with special melodies that are used only once a year, penitential and confessional prayers, and the reading of the Book of Jonah. The service marking the end of Yom Kippur ends with a long blast of the Shofar, at which point, a congregation of hungry thirsty people descends on food.
