Yom Kippur, the Day of Repentance, 25 hours of complete fasting, no food or drink, and dedication to prayers, will last until tomorrow evening. It is the culmination of the ten-day period of repentance, which reminds us that no one is sinless.

It is spent in prayers that call for forgiveness. It is believed that it is through prayers, repentance and mercy during the Day of Awe that one can influence which of the three books God will write the believers in, before the books are sealed on Yom Kippur.

Namely, according to a belief that is thousands of years old, on this day accounts are made of actions, believers beg for forgiveness from people whom they have hurt in any way. On Yom Kippur, the fate of the coming year is determined.

There is also a custom of symbolically transferring sins to poultry. The prayer expresses the wish that the death of the fowl be a ransom for a long, peaceful and happy life. The poultry is then given to charity, and many donate money.

White clothes are worn, while leather shoes are prohibited. The ritual part of the holiday ends with the last opening of the holy cabinet where the Torah scrolls are kept, with a prayer and the sounding of the traditional horn, the sofar.

However, the effort paid off and I will definitely participate and next year,” says Tibor Kokai.
