Yom Kippur 2025 begins at sundown on Wednesday, October 1, and ends at nightfall on Thursday, October 2. But it is not just a date. It is the climax of the Jewish spiritual calendar. It’s the final chance to change your judgment for the coming year.
If Rosh Hashanah is the day we are “written” in the Book of Life or Death, Yom Kippur is the day the ink dries.
Jews all over the world will fill synagogues, yes, even the secular ones who only show up once a year. Something deep in the Jewish heart knows that Yom Kippur matters. It is the only 25-hour period when the entire nation of Israel, religious, secular, rich, poor, Mizrahi, Ashkenazi – all stand together in front of God.
