During this holy Yom Kippur, Jewish communities will come together to fast, reflect, and repent – to take stock of their actions, seek forgiveness, and commit to doing better in the year to come.
Jill and I wish a meaningful fast to all those observing. G’mar Chatimah Tovah.

Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, begins tonight.
The liturgy is now thoroughly rabbinic, but over 100 years ago, a fragmentary Hebrew papyrus was discovered at Oxyrhynchus, Egypt, which dates to around the 4th century CE.
It contains some form of liturgy for Yom Kippur.

Wishing an easy fast for all who are observing Yom Kippur starting tonight. And whether or not you observe, I recommend @TheRaDR and her very insightful book on the difficult topic of making amends. https://t.co/ZVHD1qYD2o
To all who celebrate, we wish you a blessed and meaningful Yom Kippur. We'll shine in candlelight tonight to mark the holiest day of the year in Judaism.

Yom Kippur (Day of Atonement, Hebrew: יום כיפור) is the last day to atone our sins of the Ten Days of Repentance, which start on the New Year (Rosh Hashanah). This is a fast mentioned in the Bible and the punishment mentioned for not keeping this fast is excommunication.
