Yom Kippur
Hebrewthe Day of Atonement, the holiest day of the year
The holiest day of the Jewish calendar, ten days after Rosh Hashanah, marked by a 25-hour fast from food and water along with a full day of prayer and reflection. It ends at nightfall with a single long shofar blast, and the break-fast meal right after tends to be the most crowded table of the year.
