Found this off a website - Yom Kippur in a Nutshell.
Thought I would post it and share with everyone.
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).
For
twenty-six hours--from several minutes before sunset on Tishrei 9 to after nightfall on Tishrei 10--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.
Before Yom Kippur we perform the
Kaparot atonement service; we request and receive
honey cake, in acknowledgement that we are all
recipients in G-d's world and in prayerful hope for a sweet and abundant year; eat a
festive meal, immerse in a
mikvah, and give extra
charity. Late afternoon we eat the pre-fast meal, following which we
bless our children, light a
memorial candle as well as the
holiday candles, and go to the
synagogue for
Kol Nidrei services.
In the course of Yom Kippur we hold
five prayer services:
Maariv, with its solemn
Kol Nidrei service, on the eve of Yom Kippur;
Shacharit--the morning prayer;
Musaf, which includes a detailed account of the Yom Kippur
Temple service;
Minchah, which includes the reading of the
Book of Jonah; and
Ne'illah, the "closing of the gates" service at
sunset. We say the
Al Chet confession of sins eight times in the course of Yom Kippur, and recite
Psalms every available moment.
The day is the most solemn of the year, yet an undertone of
joy suffuses it: a joy that revels in the spirituality of the day and expresses the confidence that G-d will accept our repentance, forgive our sins, and seal our
verdict for a year of life, health and happiness. The closing
Neilah service climaxes in the resounding cries of "
Hear O Israel... G-d is one." Then joy erupts in song and dance (a Chabad custom is to sing the lively "
Napoleon's March"), followed by a single
blast of the
shofar, followed by the proclamation, "
Next year in Jerusalem." We then partake of a festive after-fast meal, making the evening
after Yom Kippur a
Yom Tov (festival) in its own right.
