Post: Yom Kippur
On
Wednesday, September 25, the Jewish people will be celebrating a high holy day
called Yom Kippur. Every year, we cast our sins into the sea for Adonai. We
also fast in order to make amends for our sins. After all, Yom Kippur means
“Day of Atonement.”
On
this day, we also reflect the days we have sinned and look to the future. We
also repent and think about how this can make us better people. Every day I
think of the past when I should really look to the future. On Yom Kippur, I
usually work on controlling my anxiety, temper, and several other components. I
think that people should work on their problems every day instead of just on Yom
Kippur.
Yom Kippur sounds like a very good holiday, Jake. I'm not part of the Jewish religion, but I think that I would very much enjoy casting my sins out into the see. I imagine it would be very refreshing, as if a huge burden had been lifted off my shoulders.
ReplyDeleteI dont really know much about this holiday, but from what you said it seems like it can be very helpful. Makes you feel refreshed and cleansed. I think that it is very cool that the Jewish Religion has a set day to do this.
