Tonight at sundown, the Jewish holiday Yom Kippur will begin.
Yom Kippur is known as the Day of Atonement and is the holiest day of the year in the Jewish calendar. Jews worldwide will fast from sundown tonight until sundown tomorrow and attend synogogue to ask God for forgiveness for their sins committed over the past year. We also ask that God inscribe us in The Book of Life for the coming year.
It is a very solemn and thoughtful period.
I wish all of my Jewish friends and family an easy fast.
L'Chaim!
