Yom Kippur is the Jewish day of atonement. During this holiday, Jews fast for 25 hours, with no eating, drinking, intercourse, or bathing. The majority of the day is spent in synagogue in prayer.
Answer:
It's the Day of Atonement, based upon the relevant verses in Leviticus ch.23. On this day, Jews fast and pray in repentance to God, that He should forgive them for all sins during the year. It's also a time of introspection and reflection as to how to become better people for the future. During this day, God judges people and decides their fate for the rest of the year. Although it is a solemn day with prayer and fasting, it is not considered a sad day but rather a holiday.
