Yom Kippur (Hebrew: יוֹם כִּפּוּר or יום הכיפורים), Also known as Day of Atonement, is the holiest day of the year for the Jews. Its central themes are atonement and repentance. Jews traditionally observe this holy day with a 25-hour period of fasting and intensive prayer, often spending most of the day in synagogue services. Yom Kippur completes the annual period known in Judaism as the High Holy Days (or sometimes “the Days of Awe”).

Torah Portion: Leviticus 16:1-34; Numbers 29:7-11

Haftarah: Isaiah 57:14-58:14 · 22 p’sukim

Shabbat Shuva 2024 / שַׁבָּת שׁוּבָה 5785

Shabbat of Returning 🕍

Shabbat Shuva for Hebrew Year 5785 began on  and ended on . This corresponds to Parashat Ha’azinu.

Shabbat Shuvah (“Sabbath [of] Return” שבת שובה) refers to the Shabbat that occurs during the Ten Days of Repentance between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. Only one Shabbat can occur between these dates. This Shabbat is named after the first word of the Haftarah (Hosea 14:2-10) and literally means “Return!” It is perhaps a play on, but not to be confused with, the word Teshuvah (the word for repentance).
