Day of Atonement
Yom means day.
Kippur means atonement.
Leviticus 23:27
There are several festivals in the Tanakh
(1 Corinthians 15:50-54) or Torah, that God told Moses, to speak to The House of Israel about. (Leviticus 23)
The 12 tribes of Israel was instructed by God to keep these holy days throughout their generations, and to teach it to the children.
God also told the house of Israel to be set apart from the other families, because it was Israel that God had chosen out of all of the families on the earth.
Ephesians 1:4, 1 Peter 1:2, Psalm 105:6
Yom Kippur is a day of atonement, to be observed throughout generations.
Hebrews 9 depicts a story of Jesus being the ultimate sacrificial lamb. And, therefore, animals were no longer utilized as sacrifices.
However, The Day of Atonement is and should still be observed by The Hebrews. (12 Tribes of Israel)
"Then, on the tenth day of the seventh month, is Yom Kippur, you are to have a holy convocation, you are to deny yourselves"
Leviticus 23:27
The seventh month, according to the Hebrew calendar is the month of September, also known as Tishri.
This is a day of repentance and fasting. Israel is not supposed to work, and to always practice the festivals no matter where Israel lives.
Leviticus 23:31
Lastly, during the time of fasting and repentance, the scriptures encourages Israel that their names can be written in The lambs book of life for another year.
Revelation 21:27, 20:15
These festivals are a reminder of the foreshadowing of the ministry of Jesus, and to have hope in a future day of His return.
