Jews around the world celebrated Yom Kippur on Saturday, the holiest day of the Jewish year. This "Day of Atonement" is traditionally filled with fasting and temple services.

Here's a look at the services held at the Stephen S. Wise Temple at the Skirball Center on Friday night and Saturday morning.
