PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — Yom Kippur, the holiest day of the Jewish calendar, begins tonight at sundown.
The tenth day of the year 5773, this Yom Kippur (the “Day of Atonement”) proceeds like it has for millenia — with fasting and prayer in temple.
Rabbi Lance Sussman of reform Congregation Keneseth Israel, in Elkins Park and Blue Bell, says the fasting during this observance is mandated for all but the young, the ill, and the pregnant.
