http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/world-news/ On the 10th day of the Jewish month of Tishri comes Yom Kippur, meaning the 'Day of Atonement'. It's the holiest day of the year. To mark the 'Sabbath of Sabbaths', Jews fast for 25 hours and pray devoutly for most of the day, with five different sessions – Maariv, Shacharit, Musaf, Minchah and Neilah. [Link added.]
When is Yom Kippur?

From "Saturday Dialectics" —
"You know that it would be untrue

If I was to say to you
Girl, we couldn't get much higher"
