As the Torah says, “God will be with you; He will not leave you or forsake you” (Deuteronomy 31:8) May Yom Kippur provide you with an uplifting opportunity to connect spiritually to God and experience His love, compassion, and forgiveness, though repentance, prayer, and acts of charity. Moreover, Yom Kippur demonstrates the power of heartfelt prayer to elicit God’s forgiveness, as the verse says, “I have forgiven them, according to your words” (Numbers 14:20), and “Offer your prayers in place of sacrifices” (Hosea 14:3). ‫בס"ד‬ Spiritual Insight For The Week with Rabbi Bentzion Kravitz Yom Kippur Should Be Uplifting, Not Boring When I was growing up, my family attended synagogue and fasted on Yom Kippur. Although we can ask for forgiveness any day of the year, Yom Kippur is a particularly auspicious time, since God is a loving, kind, merciful, and compassionate father to his children. This point is especially significant because the bond between a parent and child is so personal that it can never be severed; so too, our bond to our Father in heaven is eternal. Our sages compare Rosh Hashanah to the coronation of a king and the sounds of the shofar (Numbers 29:1) are reminiscent of the trumpets heralding the king’s arrival. Furthermore, Daniel said, “We do not present our supplications before You because of our righteousness, but because of Your great mercy” (Daniel 9:18). This is a powerful reminder that no matter what mistakes we made during the year, a heartful cry is accepted by God, Who does not forsake his children. The satirical High Holiday illustration in this Insight was hand-painted by Julius Ciss, the director of Jews for Judaism Canada.
