Yom Kippur (Hebrew for the Day of Atonement) is one of the Moadim, one of the Appointed Times of the Lord that, in the Bible, He commanded Israel to keep. It is an "appointment" set by the Lord. When someone makes an appointment, they have a reason. As author Rabbi Jim says, "If someone in my congregation makes an appointment with me, they wouldnt like it if I controlled the whole time and never asked them what they wanted to see me about." God has set the agenda for Yom Kippur, and we need to find out what it all is."

To Jewish people, Yom Kippur is the most holy day of the whole year....
