Jews around the world mark the beginning of Yom Kippur Sunday at sundown.
The holiday commemorates the end of ten days of introspection among those
of the Jewish faith.
During Yom Kippur, Jews cleanse themselves of sins of the past year.
The observance includes a lengthy service remembering loved ones who have
been lost.
Yom Kippur ends at sunset on Monday.
