The most common greeting on Yom Kippur is "Gmar chatima tova" (גמר חתימה טובה) . It is pronounced "gih-MAR chah-tee-MAH toe-VAH" and it means "May you be sealed in the Book of Life". This greeting is a traditional wish for a good final sealing in the Book of Life, which is believed to happen on Yom Kippur. Another greeting that can be used is "Tzom kal" (צום קל) which means "have an easy fast". It is also respectful to share well wishes to your friends and colleagues who observe the holiday.
