Yom Kippur is the holiest day of the year for Jewish people. It is observed with a 25-hour fast, prayer, and day-long synagogue attendance.
It begins Friday night, and continues with multiple services Saturday until a ram’s horn or shofar is blown to signify the end of the ceremony when stars emerge at night.
