The Day of Atonement is considered the holiest and most awesome day of both the Messianic Hebraic faith and traditional Judaism. It is preceded by Trumpets and the ten days of awe - a time of serious introspection and prayers of repentance. It is always celebrated on the 10th day of Tishrei, the seventh month. On this day, Jews of all backgrounds and beliefs attend the local synagogue, to ask Yahweh for forgiveness for sins committed during the past calendar year. Traditional Jews believe that this is the day when Yahweh determines once and for all who will live and who will die in the upcoming year. Traditional Jews remain in the synagogue most if not all of the day.
