It falls on the tenth day of Tishrei, the seventh month in the Hebrew calendar. This day is significant for its focus on atonement and repentance. The timing is crucial as it follows the Feast of Trumpets and precedes the Feast of Tabernacles, creating a period of introspection and spiritual renewal.<p><b>you are to hold a sacred assembly</b><br>A sacred assembly, or "holy convocation," is a gathering of the people for worship and reflection.

It reflects the collective responsibility of the Israelites to maintain their covenant relationship with God.<p><b>and you shall humble yourselves</b><br>Humbling oneself is traditionally understood as fasting and afflicting one's soul. This act of self-denial is a physical expression of repentance and submission to God. It is a time for individuals to reflect on their sins and seek God's mercy. This practice is echoed in other scriptures, such as <a href="/isaiah/58-3.htm">Isaiah 58:3-5</a>, where true fasting is described as an act of humility and justice.<p><b>you must not do any work</b><br>The prohibition of work on this day highlights its sanctity and sets it apart as a Sabbath of solemn rest. This commandment ensures that the focus remains on spiritual matters rather than daily labor.
