Yom Kippur 2023

YOM KIPPUR, the Day of Atonement, begins this evening at sundown. An easy and healthy fast to all those observing it.

Last year's post on Yom Kippur is here, with links. Biblical etc. background is here and links. For (another) recent post on the Akitu Festival, to which some have drawn parallels with Yom Kippur, see here. Additional recent Yom Kippur-related posts are here and here.

UPDATE: Another relevant post is here.
