'''Ne'ila''', (lit. ''locking'') the ''concluding service'', is a special [[Jewish services|Jewish prayer service]] that is held only on [[Yom Kippur]]. It is the time when final prayers of repentance are recited at the closing of Yom Kippur. Ne'ila consists of [[Ashrei]], Uva L'Tzion (both of which are postponed from [[Mincha]] when they are normally recited), [[Amidah]] with [[Selichot]] and an abbreviated [[Vidui#In prayer|Vidui]], and [[Avinu Malkeinu]]. Neilah marks the fifth Amidah of the Day of Atonement, the only such occasion in the Hebrew calendar in which there are so many services. The [[shofar]] is blown at the end of Ne'ila. During the leader's repetition of the Ne'ila Amidah, the [[Torah ark|ark ''(Aron Kodesh'' or ''Hechal)'']] remains open, and it is traditional to stand throughout the service.
The service can also conclude with a [[Havdalah]] ceremony, similar to that concluding [[Shabbat|Sabbath]]. Yom Kippur is ended in the same style as Sabbath: separating the holy from the everyday.Neila is also performed on [[Rosh Hashana]] the jewish New year.
