How many days until Yom Kippur?
There are 343 days until Yom Kippur 2027 — Monday, October 11, 2027.
About this countdown
This countdown targets Yom Kippur on Monday, October 11, 2027, set by the rule: Set each year by official proclamation. It runs on your device's clock and counts to midnight at the start of the day.
Yom Kippur is an observance rather than a public holiday, so offices, banks and schools keep their normal hours. Nobody gets a paid day off for it, though plenty of people mark it anyway. Yom Kippur, the Jewish Day of Atonement, is an optional holiday for Texas state employees under state law. Nothing closes automatically — offices, banks and schools run normally — but eligable state workers may take the day off in place of another state holiday.
