Jewish observance
The Ten Days of Repentance
The ten days from Rosh Hashanah through Yom Kippur. Avinu Malkeinu is recited according to community custom; the app’s scheduled omissions are a simplified practice pattern, not a universal liturgical rule.
Also known as Days of Awe, Yamim Noraim, Aseret Yemei Teshuvah, Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur.
These are optional practice suggestions. Adjust the goals and follow your own tradition. Dates and customs may differ by community.
When it falls
Whose reckoning these dates follow
Rosh Hashanah through Yom Kippur on the Hebrew calendar.
Why communities differ
Avinu Malkeinu is omitted on Shabbat, and in most rites on the eve of Yom Kippur; which days those are moves with the year. Rites differ on the number of lines and on some of the wording.
The day begins at sunset on the evening before the date shown.
Japa has not independently verified these dates against a published calendar. Check them against the authority your own community keeps.
