Ultra-Orthodox Jews praying in front of a plastic pool filled with water and live fish in the ultra-Orthodox Israeli city of Bnei Brak, near Tel Aviv, yesterday as they perform the Tashlich ritual during which they cast their sins into the water, one day before the Day of Atonement or Yom Kippur.

Yom Kippur, the most solemn day in the Jewish calendar, is a 25-hour period of fasting and intense reflection and prayers where the central theme is atonement that begins today after sunset.
