Studies show that certain Jewish rituals are widely observed, even by assimilated or secular Jews. The most popular tradition is attendance at a Passover seder, but a close second is showing up to Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur services.

Yom Kippur
I believe that one should both personalize and own one's belief and value system, in terms of religion, ideology and in how one leads one's life from day to day, year to year, life to death. The views expressed in these words are not tied to a stream of Judaism or to a specific group of Jews, they belong to the ramblings of a contemporary Jew on his journey in this world.

Yom Kippur
Amidst the welter of information available on Jewish holidays and their origin, we frequently lose site of the philosophical significance of these festivals and their inter-connected nature. Here we will explore the relation between Yom Kippur, the most important Holy Day in the Jewish calendar, and Sukkot, the feast of Tabernacles, commemorating the 40 years of Israel's wandering in the wilderness, from a personal perspective, in which symbology becomes a metaphor for the human condition.

Yom Kippur
There is more to this "High Holiday" season than meets the eye. We may think of them as Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur. Truth be told, that is really only 3/10 of the picture: Rosh Hashana marks the first and second days of the Jewish month of Tishrei; Yom Kippur is celebrated on the 10th of Tishrei, inclusively encompassing the "Ten Days of Repentance" ("Aseret Yemei Teshuva"). Each one of these ten days is noted for extra prayer, supplication, and introspection. Of course, Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur are the biggies with their own sets of special laws that set them apart from "normal" days. However the whole ten-day unit enjoys a special status in the Jewish calendar.
