Yom Kippur is the holiest day of the year in Judaism, which occurs annually on the 10th of Tishrei, corresponding to a date in late September or early October.

The formal Hebrew name of the holiday is Yom HaKippurim, 'day of the atonements'. This name is used in the Bible, Mishnah, and Shulchan Aruch.

The word kippurim 'atonement' is one of many Biblical Hebrew words which, while using a grammatical plural form, refers to a singular abstract concept.^[1]
