What is Yom Kippur?

• Yom Kippur is considered the most important
  holiday in the Jewish faith. It falling in the
  month of Tishrei and also known as the Day of
  Atonement. It marks the culmination of the 10
  Days of Awe, a period of introspection and
  repentance that follows Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish
  New Year.

Yom Kippur Preparations

• Yom Kippur is specified for forgiveness and is
  also the climax of the Ten Days and nights of
  Repentance. It really is cause for positive
  pleasure in G-d's mercy and forgiveness, but it
  addittionally requires reflective planning.
  Traditionally, there are numerous activities that
  people engage in through the days before Yom
  Kippur.
• Aseres Yemei Teshuva
• Tzedakah
• Kaparos
• Erev Yom Kippur

Aseres Yemei Teshuva
Tzedakah

• The first day of Rosh Hashana is the to begin the
  Ten Days and nights of Repentance, and Yom Kippur
  is the previous. The ancients trained that of
  these ten times, Teshuvah (repentance), Tefilah
  (prayer) and Tzedakah (charity) are specially
  effective and much more commonly accepted in
  heaven.

• Charity is one of the three activities described
  in the davening of Yom Kippur that eliminates an
  bad decree. Actually, halachic options discuss
  the custom of offering charity to the indegent on
  both Erev Rosh Hashanah and Erev Yom Kippur.
  Through the entire Ten Times of Repentance, we
  make an effort to add good deeds, and Tzedakah is
  one of the biggest mitzvos a Jew can do.

Kaparos
Erev Yom Kippur

• This traditional ritual is achieved by revolving
  a rooster around one's brain while reciting a
  text message that says that the rooster will be
  slaughtered and the average person will check out
  a good extended life.

• Erev Yom Kippur is an especially special day.
  It's not only each day of planning for any
  occasion, it is any occasion itself. There's a
  special need to partake of any festive meal. As
  the Torah requires us to fast, it also needs us
  to rejoice this holy day, also to prepare
  ourselves literally for the fast day.

Yom Kippur Rituals

• Yom Kippur is the only fast that is biblically
  mandated. Due to its severity, only the most
  urgent circumstances allow for its violation. A
  competent halachic authority should be consulted
  in all such matters. The other four injunctions
  are rabbinic.

Yom Kippur Prayers

• Yom Kippur is the one day completely focused on
  prayer. For just one day, we emulate the angels,
  abstaining from physical desires, gives way to
  religious introspection. We think about our
  defects, and resolve to fix our ways. Usually Yom
  Kippur has been one of the happiest times of the
  entire year since it is whenever we are forgiven,
  so when we get started anew with a clean slate.
