For a show that generally did well of making everything about it timeless, this episode contains one of the series' most glaring dated references - when Frasier objects to Roz's pot brownie because it's illegal. It no longer is in the state of Washington - matter of fact, snacks like the pot brownie can even be bought in specialized retail stores in Washington.
3. The title refers to the High Holy Days of the Hebrew religious calendar of Rosh Hashanah, "Jewish New Year", and Yom Kippur, "Day of Atonement".
