Yom Kippur comes ten days after the celebration of the
New Year. It is our chance for a new beginning. This sacred
day is spent worshipping and fasting. On Yom Kippur, God
forgives us and we forgive each other. This year (2009)
it begins on the evening of Sunday, September 27th.
At the end of Yom Kippur, we blow the shofar one last
time before proclaiming "Next year in Jerusalem." That
blast is a tekiah gedolah, an extended version of the normal
tekiah. If you'd like to hear the shofar or learn more
about it, go to the shofar page of Celebrate with
JOI: Rosh Hashanah.
