This service also includes the vidui , or confession, followed by a selection of Selichot , penitentional prayers. The morning Torah reading deals with the service in the temple and contains six aliya's , the special blessings said by men when called up to the Torah. This is one more aliah than regular holidays and one less than Shabbat. It is usually recited during the shaharit service just following the Torah reading. Anyone whose parents are still alive should exit the main sanctuary until the prayer is finished.
Most synagogues take a break after musaf so families can go home and rest for a couple of hours.
During this service the Book of Jonah is read. This is the final, or concluding service of Yom Kippur. The Hebrew word, neilah , means locked, and is meant to symbolize the closing gates of heaven. During neilah , the ark is left open for maximum communication between the congregation and G-d. As a result, it is custom for the congregation to remain standing.
