Understanding Your Jewish Neighbour: Yom Kippur

Yom Kippur—the Day of Atonement—is the most solemn day on the Jewish calendar, a time to reflect, repent, and seek reconciliation with God. For believers in Jesus, it reveals a powerful picture of atonement fulfilled: the Messiah who entered the true Holy of Holies and offered his own blood for our redemption. This sacred day reminds us of the seriousness of sin, the depth of God’s mercy, and the eternal hope we have through Yeshua. As Christians, Yom Kippur invites us to humble ourselves in prayer, seek reconciliation with others, and share the good news of the One who has made a way for all to be cleansed before God.
