What are the simillarities of yom kippur lent and Ramadan?

Answer 1

The most obvious similarity is that all three involve fasting, abstaining from certain types of food or from eating at certain times. During Yom Kippur, Jews fast for 25 hours; during Lent Christians will not eat milk, eggs and other foods (which are used up to make pancakes the day before Lent begins) - some Christians abstain from all animal products during this period, while others fast for a portion of it and during Ramadan Muslims maintain a strict fast - during which nothing must pass the lips, effectively banning them from drinking and smoking too - between dawn and nightfall.

Another similarity - the one I suspect the question refers to if it forms a part of your school homework - is that all three festivals focus on repentance, self-cleansing and absolving oneself in the eyes of G-d. Jews spend the ten days between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur putting right any sins they have committed in the previous year and taking steps to better themselves so that they will not commit those sins again, then spend Yom Kippur deep in prayer so that G-d will forgive them; Christians, through prayer, charity, penitance and self-denial, solmnly prepare themseves spirtiually for Easter when they remember the death and rebirth of Christ and Muslims use Ramadan as an opportunity to focus on enlightenment and spiritual cleansing, taking a step back from their everyday lives in order to strengthen the link between themselves and Allah.

Answer 2

In terms of what types of work may not be done, it is identical to the Sabbath.

Answer 3

No. Yom kippur is the last day of the jewish year, a day of atonement.

Hijj is more similar to an aliyah.

Answer 4

Fasting.

Answer 5

Yom Kippur is at the end of a 5-week period of reflection and penitence that begins on the first of Ellul. During that interval, the liturgy reminds Jews to put things right with any people they have wronged. Perhaps that penitential season is a parallel with Lent, while Yom Kipper might be compared with Easter Sunday. Lent is a partial fast, while Easter Sunday is a feast. In contrast, Yom Kippur is a total fast for 25 hours (no food or drink at all) while the preliminary penitential season has no food restrictions.
