Inscribe Yourself in the Book of Life ✡ "An Atonement for You" - ISRAEL365

For on that day shall the Kohen make an atonement for you, to cleanse you, that ye may be clean from all your sins before Hashem. Leviticus 16:30 (The Israel Bible™)   כִּי בַיּוֹם הַזֶּה יְכַפֵּר עֲלֵיכֶם לְטַהֵר אֶתְכֶם מִכֹּל חַטֹּאתֵיכֶם לִפְנֵי יְהוָה תִּטְהָרוּ ויקרא טז:ל kee va-YOM ha-ZEH y’-kha-PAYR a-lay-KHEM l’-ta-HAYR et-KHEM mi-KOL kha-to-tay-KHEM lif-NAY a-do-NAI tit-HA-ru

Today's Israel Inspiration Today's verse is the Biblical source for the holiest day in the entire Jewish year: Yom Kippur. In the times when the Holy Temple stood in Jerusalem, the Yom Kippur service was the most intricate, requiring the High Priest (Kohen) to cleanse himself more than half a dozen times throughout the day, while the people fasted and prayed his service would be accepted by God. Though we are not fortunate enough to have the Temple and the many duties the High Priest would perform, we remind ourselves of his important work throughout the day's prayers, thereby emulating the holy service. On Yom Kippur, our focus is to plead with God to forgive the iniquities carried out by the Jewish nation, and eternally inscribe us in the Book of Life, and not the formidable Book of Death. In the Yom Kippur liturgy, we call out in unison that repentance, prayer, and charity are the keys to removing any evil decrees that are upon us thereby ensuring we will be given a year of health and happiness.   Merit to be inscribed in the Book of Life by helping those in need » Earn Your Place in God's Book of Life For a great year ahead, we must pray with all our might and ask God to inscribe and seal us with favorable judgment.
