Yom Kippur: Day of Atonement and Second Chances in Vienna
The Jewish holiday of Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, marks the end of the ten days of repentance and remembrance that begin with the New Year festival of Rosh Hashanah. In 2025, Yom Kippur begins at sundown on Wednesday, October 1 and ends at nightfall on Thursday, October 2. As the holiest holiday of spiritual repentance, it is an essential opportunity for reconciliation with God and fellow human beings and is also observed in Vienna with strict fasting and intense prayer.
