Question
How is Yom Kippur different from other festivals, where in all festivals in the Diaspora two days of Yom Tov are observed, but Yom Kippur is observed only one day?
Answer
On Yom Kippur, the sages did not institute two days of Yom Tov because there is a concern that it could lead to danger, and it is a decree that most of the community cannot withstand.
