Last year's services were viewed by over 300,000 people.

Yom Kippur (Day of Atonement) is the holiest day of the year on the Jewish calendar; it is a day of prayer and fasting for Jewish people around the world. The Eve of Yom Kippur (Kol Nidre) on Friday, October 3rd, and Yom Kippur on Saturday, October 4th represent the end of a 10-day period of repentance, which begins with the Jewish New Year 5775, Rosh Hashanah, on Wednesday evening, September 24th continuing on Thursday, September 25th. Historically, it is on the 10th day between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur on which Moses completed and brought down the second set of commandments from Mount Sinai, signifying that God had granted atonement for the people's sin of the Golden calf.

Beverly Hills Temple of the Arts' Yom Kippur program, especially filmed for the homebound and those who cannot attend a synagogue, will be aired on JLTV (Jewish Life Television) and can be viewed coast-to-coast on DIRECTV, Comcast and Time Warner.
