Yom Kippur

The Day of Atonement

Yom Kippur is the holiest day of the year—the day on which we are closest to G‑d and to the quintessence of our own souls. It is the Day of Atonement—“For on this day He will forgive you, to purify you, that you be cleansed from all your sins before G‑d” (Leviticus 16:30).

Yom Kippur 2026 begins before sundown on Sunday, Sept. 20,

Fast begins and Candle lighting 6:38 pm 

Yom Kippur ends and the fast is over after nightfall, Monday Sept. 21: 7:35 pm

For nearly twenty-six hours—from several minutes before sunset on 9 Tishrei (September 20) to after nightfall on 10 Tishrei (September 21)—we “afflict our souls”: we abstain from food and drink, do not wash or anoint our bodies, do not wear leather footwear, and abstain from marital relations. Instead our time is spent in prayer to G‑d. . . Read more about Yom Kippur

 

Chabad UES / Services will be held jointly with Park East Synagogue in the main sanctuary. 

Open to all Jews regardless of affilitation
