Jerusalem Inspiration The prophet Zephaniah, one of the 12 minor prophets, calls for song and praise over the redemption of Jerusalem. The Torah itself rejects a stern and ascetic approach towards religion, and commands us to serve God in happiness and love. As Yom Kippur approaches, our days are filled with conflicting emotions; the understandable fear of judgement day, as well as comfort and satisfaction knowing that God seeks to shower us with blessing, and wants us to worship him with joy and love.
