Reb Shlomo and Yom Kippur

Yom Kippur (the Day of Atonement) is the most solemn and important of the Jewish holidays. Its central themes are atonement and repentance. Jews the world over traditionally observe this holy day with fasting, meditation and prayer.

Reb Shlomo taught us that G-d inscribes each person’s fate for the coming year into a “book” on Rosh Hashanah and waits until Yom Kippur to “seal” the verdict. During the Ten Days of Repentance, we try to fix our behavior and seek forgiveness for wrongs done against G-d (bein adam leMakom) and against our fellow planet sharers (bein adam lechavero).
