Yom Kippur, Holiest Day On The Jewish Calendar, Arrives Tonight

...In the seventh month, on the tenth day of the month, you shall afflict your souls, and you shall not do any work ... For on that day he shall provide atonement for you to cleanse you from all your sins before the L-RD. -Leviticus 16:29-30

The observance of Yom Kippur, the holiest day on the Jewish calendar, will begin for two shoreline congregations with Kol Nidre services tonight.

Chabad.org says Yom Kippur is also known as the Day of Atonement:

The day is the most solemn of the year, yet an undertone of joy suffuses it: a joy that revels in the spirituality of the day and expresses the confidence that G-d will accept our repentance, forgive our sins, and seal our verdict for a year of life, health and happiness.

Yom Kippur Services at Chabad on the Shoreline are as follows:
