Messianic Jewish congregations devote serious effort at presenting a rationale for taking Yom Kippur. Such as by the Emmanuel Messianic Jewish Congregation (Clarksville, Maryland, USA):
{{quote|For believers in Yeshua, both Jewish and non-Jewish, the observance of Yom Kippur can hold special significance.

Do we fast and confess our sins like the rest of the Jewish community or do we rejoice in the knowledge that we're forgiven in Messiah? Many Jewish believers view Yom Kippur as a time for identification with our Jewish people, introspection for ourselves and intercession for loved ones, knowing all the while that Jesus is the One that makes us at one with God...<ref>{{cite web |publisher= jewsforjesus.org |date=April 9, 2010 |title= Jews for Jesus: Yom Kippur |url=http://jewsforjesus.org/judaica/yomkippur}}</ref>}}
