What Is Yom Kippur?

A Special Message for Yom Kippur
Yom Kippur, the awesome Day of Atonement, is a day of great spiritual power, healing, forgiveness, and joy. This joy is a direct manifestation of the revelation of Divine love, and there is no greater example of this love than the power of sincere repentance, which changes our personal history and enables us to embark upon a completely new beginning. Yom Kippur is about G-d believing in man, and the experience is transformative! Blessings to all for this coming year and may you be written in the Book of Life for the best year ever! Amen!
The Day of Atonement, Yom Kippur 5784 (10 Tishrei) will be observed beginning at sunset on Sunday, September 24, 2023 and ending with nightfall on Monday, September 25, 2023.

Thank you Rabbi. I was with my papa on the last Yom Kippur of his life. I know he had true repentance. His name was Marvin Levich (no middle name). He was born in Iowa City in 1925, but his parents were expelled from the shtetl of Minsk, Russia & Pinsk, Lithuania around the time of the Russian Revolution. My grandmother "Bubbelah" or "Babushka" was his mother, a teenager when she left Minsk. Shalom! from Marvin's daughter in Oregon.(He died in February. He was a WWII vet.) ✡️

[@user-rw2fi5ev1b]

I'm Jewish and I think Yom Kippur is a really necessary day. You don't eat or drink. There are no cars or phones or TV. You wear white and you're not busy all day with electronics. You go out and you don't see any cars and it's so quiet and relaxing and all the children are playing.

[@blackrockandsonpavingwebri1966]

We're does it say to do all this in Torah?

[@user-rw2fi5ev1b]

@@blackrockandsonpavingwebri1966 ויקרא פרק כ”ג, פסוקים כ”ז - ל”ב: “כז אַךְ⁠ בֶּעָשׂוֹר לַחֹדֶשׁ הַשְּׁבִיעִי הַזֶּה יוֹם הַכִּפֻּרִים הוּא, מִקְרָא-קֹדֶשׁ יִהְיֶה לָכֶם, וְעִנִּיתֶם, אֶת-נַפְשֹׁתֵיכֶם; וְהִקְרַבְתֶּם אִשֶּׁה, לַיהוָה: כח וְכָל-מְלָאכָה לֹא תַעֲשׂוּ, בְּעֶצֶם הַיּוֹם הַזֶּה: כִּי יוֹם כִּפֻּרִים, הוּא, לְכַפֵּר עֲלֵיכֶם, לִפְנֵי יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵיכֶם: I don't know how to translate it to you But there is a sentence that says "And you tortured your souls" religion interprets it as fasting, you can interpret it for yourself in any other way. Muslims, for example, interpret a parallel expression as beating themselves (sometimes to death). It is also written there that you will not do any מלאכה, that is, you will not do activities or hard work

What a great explanation of Yom Kippur! Thanks so much! 🎺

[@nancymichaels4937]

This is the most important and meaningful message I’ve ever heard about Yom Kippur. I so needed to hear it today, as I prepare myself for this holiest of days. I really never thought of Yom Kippur as a day of joy, but now I know this to be true. To know that Teshuva and Repentance allows me to be cleansed of my past sins, and that all of my actions have in essence brought me to this place of return to Hashem, is joyful! I always knew that Yom Kippur is when we ask for G-D’S forgiveness, and I thank you, Rabbi Richman for including “forgiving ourselves”. I very much needed to hear that! Wishing you and yours all the best for Health, Happiness and Sweetness in 5784! Gmar Chatima Tova!

Rabbi Richman; hope you come up with another excellent video for the upcoming Hag of Sukkot.! Thank you so much for bringing Torah to all of us.

[@user-pd7il3xz5j]

This shuir proves why it is vital to learn the positive and negative commands, for if you want to do teshuvah you must learn what is and is not permitted and all the details that are an integral part of the specific commandment. To learn you also need to have a rabbi that follows Torah and can guide and teach the proper way to conduct yourself.

[@dorotapiotrowska3686]

Could someone please explain, on what grounds G-d forgives our sins, if there is no shedding of blood? Torah says: "For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul" Leviticus 17:11. Atonement is in the blood. Please comment

Ezekiel 33:11 Say to them: ‘As I live’-it is a declaration of Adonai-‘I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but that the wicked turn from his way and live. Return, return from your evil ways. Why will you die, O house of Israel?’ Ezekiel 18:21-23 If the wicked turns from all his sins that he has committed, and keeps all My laws and does what is lawful and right, he will surely live, he will not die. 22 None of his transgressions that he committed will be remembered; because of his righteousness that he practiced, he will live. 23 “Do I delight at all in the death of the wicked?” It is a declaration of Adonai. “Rather, should he not return from his ways, and live? Jeremiah 31: New Covenant Foretold 30 “Behold, days are coming” -it is a declaration of Adonai- “when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah- 31 not like the covenant I made with their fathers in the day I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt. For they broke My covenant, though I was a husband to them.” it is a declaration of Adonai. 32 “But this is the covenant I will make with the house of Israel after those days” -it is a declaration of Adonai- “I will put My Torah within them. Yes, I will write it on their heart. I will be their God and they will be My people. 33 No longer will each teach his neighbor or each his brother, saying: ‘Know Adonai,’ for they will all know Me, from the least of them to the greatest.” it is a declaration of Adonai. “For I will forgive their iniquity, their sin I will remember no more.” Read the book 📖 of Jonah - NO • BLOOD • NEEDED • REPENTANCE • IS • KEY 🔑
