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

Isaiah 57:14-58:14

The Torah reading for  morning focuses on the offerings that Aaron, the high priest, brought in the ancient Temple as atonement. He was to make expiation for himself, then his household, and only after that brought an offering for the entire community. The Yom Kippur Avodah service recited during Musaf is based on this ritual.

Yom Kippur All Year Long

The proper observance of Yom Kippur, including repentance and introspection, should bring us nearer to God all year long.
