         DefinitionShort: a Jewish festival celebrating the forgiveness of sins on the day of atonement{N:001}

         Glosses: ['festival of the atonement', 'day to commemorate the atonement of sin']

         Comments: The Day of Atonement in the Jewish calendar occurs in the fall, a time which is particularly dangerous to small ships in the Mediterranean. In biblical times, small merchant ships normally stayed in a harbor over the winter months.
