History, and Significance
According to tradition, the first Yom Kippur occurred after the Israelites fled Egypt and reached Mount Sinai, where God gave Moses the Ten Commandments.
Descending the mountain, Moses caught his men worshipping a golden calf and in anger broke the sacred tablets.
Because the Israelites stoned their idolatry, God forgave their sins and offered Moses a second set of Tablets.
