Moses received that forgiveness on the 10 th day of Tishrei, the seventh month of the Jewish calendar, and descended from the mountain. He then returned to the top of the mountain to ask forgiveness from God. When Moses saw the golden calf, he became enraged and burned the idol his people turned to in his absence. Moses, who was on Mount Sinai to learn the laws from God, known as the Ten Commandments, returned to his people with the tablets they were carved on.
After God freed the Jews from the slavery they endured in Egypt, they sinned by worshipping a golden calf.
The holiday is connected to the story of Moses and the Exodus from Egypt, the period of time when God freed the Jews from slavery. It's a period of time when people observing the holiday reflect on their sins and transgressions of the past year and ask for forgiveness.īecause Yom Kippur is a somber holiday, it's not customary to wish someone a "happy Yom Kippur." For those who have friends observing the holiday and who want to acknowledge the holy day, it's better to wish them a good, easy or meaningful fast, which is done from sundown to sundown on Yom Kippur. It signals the end of the 10 days of repentance, which begins after Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year. Yom Kippur, also known as the Jewish Day of Atonement, is the holiest day of the year for the Jewish faith and is marked each year with a reflection of one's sins, fasting and prayer. But if someone isn't Jewish, they could possibly go through their whole lives without knowing the significance of one of the most important Jewish holidays, Yom Kippur. Hanukkah might be the best-known Jewish holiday to gentiles and non-Jews because it's close to Christmas, with Passover a close second because it's loosely tied to Easter.
