On the tenth day of the new year comes the day of atonement. The day when we ask forgiveness, we analyze our actions, our deeds, and try to correct our "mistakes".

The Jewish community in the city of Ulyanovsk preparations for Yom Kippur began in advance of the annual ceremony Kaparot and mailing, telephone calls in which members of the community talked about the day of atonement and the rules of fasting.

According to the observations, every year more and more Jews observe 25 hours of fasting. It was clear from the large number of people gathered in the synagogue for the evening prayer on the day of the end of the post.
