Everyone knows that Jews fast on Yom Kippur, but do you know why?? One of the reasons is because on our holiest day of the year, we are all like God’s ministering angels. We refrain from food or drink like all celestial beings in order to raise our spirits to the heavens, and come as close to the Divine as humanly possible on this special day. Before we repent our sins to God on Yom Kippur however, we must make amends to our fellow man. Traditionally the day before Yom Kippur is spent on reconciling damaged relationships and seeking forgiveness from friend and foe alike, and wishing each other that we be inscribed in the Book of Life for the coming year. Learn more here about the gift of repentance in our eBook of Jonah, with complete Hebrew and English text, inspiring commentary, and videos of a cantor chanting the traditional tune.
