Yom Kippur 2027

The Day of Atonement, which closes the Ten Days of Awe: return and repentance, and a full day’s fast.

In 2027 it falls on Saturday 11 September in Karaite practice, and on Monday 11 October in Masorti and Reform practice.

Like every day of the Jewish year, it begins at sunset the evening before. Karaite dates are projected, and may move a day once the new moon is sighted.
