What is Yom Kippur & Why is it a Holy Day in Judaism?
Greene’s social media response stems from the Yom Kippur holiday, the holiest day of the year for Jews. Yom Kippur, also known as the Day of Atonement, is a two-day event based on the Jewish lunar calendar.
Calendar days are marked from sunset to sunset, meaning that the Yom Kippur 2023 holiday begins at sunset on Sunday, September 24, and will continue until the following evening on Monday, September 25.
Additionally, the event includes the “Day of Awe,” a 10-day period that begins with the Jewish New Year called Rosh Hashanah. During Yom Kippur, those who practice Judaism are expected to repent and reflect on their sins at home or in synagogue.
There is also the option of fasting from sunset to sunset on Eid. However, this does not apply to children under 13, the elderly and the sick.
Pregnant and lactating women can also exempt themselves from fasting for medical reasons.
