What is Yom Kippur?
Often referred to as the Day of Atonement, Yom Kippur is a solemn day when people repent for their sins from the previous year. It is customary for people to fast, attend services in the synagogue, and refrain from most activities during this time. To greet someone on Yom Kippur you can say Chag sameach (Happy holiday) or Have a meaningful Yom Kippur.
