Beit Midrash
- Shabbat and Holidays
- The High Holidays
- Yom Kippur
Hence it would seem logical that today, when for the first time in twenty centuries we are fully free to choose to return to Zion, we should feel somewhat uncomfortable reciting the Yom Kippur liturgy, should we willingly choose not to participate in the process of the return to our land.
I recently shared this observation with an acquaintance, who responded somewhat kiddingly and uncomfortably: "Well aren’t there many things that we say in the "Al Chait" that we don’t really mean?" Yes, but we are not talking about our individual shortcomings, but rather the essence of our longing and prayers on this Holy Day as formulated by Chazal. Do we really not mean these either?
