Yom Kippur

The situation in Israel this year, finally begins to answer the perennial question: is Yom Kippur meant to be a day of PERSONAL Teshuva and repentance? Or NATIONAL Teshuva and repentance? What is the main focus of the day? Because there's a discrepancy between the atmosphere of Yom Kippur of today and Yom Kippur during the time of the Beit Hamikdash. Perhaps we need to change our focus on Yom Kippur?

What is the most halachically appropriate way I can keep to this and still fast?

The process of drawing near to the Almighty cannot come about in skips and bounds; rather, it must play itself out step by step: First comes service based upon fear; and then, only afterwards, service deriving from love

A must-watch story to inspire your heart this Yom Kippur, revealing how sincere forgiveness opens the way for Hashem to forgive us in return. This moving tale illustrates the power of teshuva, the depth of divine compassion, and how our efforts to seek and grant forgiveness can transform our lives and bring true spiritual renewal.
