THE GOALS<br />

References to Yom Kippur are found in Leviticus 16: 29, Leviticus 23: 27<br />

and Numbers 29: 7.<br />

The Book of Jonah is recited in the afternoon service to show God’s<br />

compassion to all His creatures, Jewish or non-Jewish, even those who<br />

are as sinful as the people of Nineveh if they genuinely repent.<br />

At the end of Neilah, a single blast of the shofar announces that the fast<br />

is over. It is customary to begin the following morning service earlier<br />

than usual to show one’s anxiety to start off in an exemplary way.<br />
