Yom Kippur and the Autumn Equinox: A Comparison. This year, 2007, Yom Kippur falls on Sept. 21 and 22. The equinox falls early on the morning of the 23rd. This year, the autumn equinox falls just after Yom Kippur (5:51 am EDT, Sept. 23). Usually one thinks of Rosh haShanah, the Jewish new year, as the autumn holiday, or of Sukkot, the harvest festival. However, this year we get an unusual chance to focus on Yom Kippur as an autumn equinox holiday.
In the north, that equinox is called the vernal or spring equinox, the beginning of spring. The other, in September, is the autumnal equinox and is the first day of fall (autumn). In the southern hemisphere, the March equinox is autumnal, and the September equinox is vernal. Around the time of either equinox (which means equal night) the daylight period of the day is about the same length of time as the night time period. Astronomy The term Vernal Equinox has another meaning in astronomy: the point in the heavens which is the location of the Sun at the moment of the northern vernal equinox.
