Detailed explanation-1: -Yom Kippur is the most solemn of Jewish religious holidays, when Jews seek to expiate their sins and achieve reconciliation with God. It concludes the “10 days of repentance” that begin with Rosh Hashana on the first day of Tishri. It is on Yom Kippur that solemnity and cessation of work are most complete.
Detailed explanation-2: -Jewish tradition, which stems from certain verses in the Torah, or the Jewish bible, stipulates that fasting on Yom Kippur is a necessary component of the day; The verse in the Torah, which can be found in Leviticus 23:27, states that the Day of Atonement should be one of “self-denial.”
Detailed explanation-3: -The Torah commands all Jewish adults (apart from the sick, the elderly and women who have just given birth) to abstain from eating and drinking between sundown on the evening before Yom Kippur and nightfall the next day. The fast is believed to cleanse the body and spirit, not to serve as a punishment.
