Yom Kippur is the "Day of Atonement". It is the time when repentance is done for anyone or anything that may have been done wrongfully in the preceding year. It may seem to be at a strange point in the year, but the Hebrew calendar is set up differently than the Roman one we use today.
This is a day of fasting and prayer. Most of the day is usually spent in temple , in a long (usually about 4 hours) service. This day completes the High Holy Days, and starts a new year.
Use this weekend to look back over the past year and see what it is that you need to do differently this next year. Asking for forgiveness means nothing if you have not learned from the experience and simply repeat it again this year. the Universe doesn't care if you make mistakes, it does care if you continue to repeat them.
The key is to learn from your mistakes, to learn, grow and to be stronger. Use this weekend as an early Roman New Year. Make some changes and stick to them.
Have a good year!
