Yom Kippur (Jewish)
Multifaith and Cultural
Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement or the Day of Reconciliation, is the holiest day in the Jewish calendar. It is a solemn day dedicated to repentance, self-reflection, and seeking forgiveness for past wrongdoings. Jews traditionally fast for 25 hours, abstaining from food, drink, and other physical comforts, while focusing on prayer and spiritual renewal. Observances include attending synagogue services for the duration of the day. Yom Kippur concludes with an evening service and the sounding of the shofar, symbolizing the end of the fast and a renewed commitment to ethical living.
Accommodations: This is a holiday or custom that may be observed by some members of the Hornet Family. Please note the general practices and common accommodations to ensure that your courses, activities, and events are inclusive and respectful of the multitude of religious and cultural customs observed by our campus community.
