Yom Kippur

Yom Kippur is the holiest day of the year for Jews. Yom Kippur provides insight on the second coming of the Messiah, the restoration of national Israel, and the final judgement of the World. Orthodox Jews rutinely stick with the reliegious celebration of Yom Kippur where other branches of Judasim tend to change a few things. During the Liturgy on Yom Kippur, where the Orthodox Jews would read the prayer "Kol Nidre" to start the liturgy, the reform Jews took this prayer out. During the reform movement the Reform Jews took the prayer out, but evenutally towards the end of the movement they put the prayer back in. On Yom Kippur, the Orthodox Jews study the temple ritual that represents positive rabbinically ordained obligation which Jews seeking atonemtn are required to fulfill. This ritual of the tmeple includes lamenting the inability to perform the temple services an d petitioning its restoration. Conservative synagoges tend to omit this part of the liturgy, and only the Hazzen or cantor engages in full prostration. Where as the Reform and Reconstructionist services omit the entire service as inconsistent with modern sensibilities.
