Sermon," a scathing
harangue during which he
mercilessly berated the con-
>, gregation for their sins The
rabbi cried. The people cried.
° The sermon took hours, and
why not? Back then the
rabbi spoke only twice a year
_,(at Passover and on Shabbat
Shuvah), so he had to make
up for lost time.
• Legend has it that the
sun and moon are to be
witnesses for (or against)
man on Judgement Day.
One Rosh Hashanah Satan
comes before God to accuse
mankind of wrongdoing, but
he brings only the sun as a
2 witness (since the New Moon
on 1 Tishrei is almost invisi-
ble.) When Satan returns 10
days later on Yom Kippur,
with the moon, God says,
"Sorry! In these 10 days
Israel has repented and been
forgiven." And Satan was
foiled yet again!
• To give Tzedakah before
a holiday is important.
To give Tzedakah before
Yom Kippur is imperative.
Charity, along with prayer
and repentance, is central to
Yom Kippur. So pick your
favorite cause and send it a
check.
• If a person comes to you
before Yom Kippur and
apologizes for a wrong he
committed against you, you
must forgive him. Don't
keep grudges. And don't
' seek vengeance. If you don't
forgive those who did you
wrong, your prayers will not
be heard on Yom Kippur.
According to tradition, only
one who forgives will have
his own sins forgiven.
• The Talmud says, "Just
as it is a mitzvah to fast on
Yom Kippur, so it is a mitz-
vah to eat well on the day
before." Especially kreplach,
because the meat signifies
stern judgement, but the
dough in which the meat is
wrapped represents the soft-
ness of God's mercy and
justice.
) Important! Make sure this
meal is easy to digest and
not salty (so you shouldn't
get too thirsty during the
Fast). And eat early enough
so you have time to get to
Kol Nidre (which, according
to tradition, is repeated
three times to make sure it's
heard even by latecomers).
• Kol Nidre, the prayer
that stirs our souls and
psyches, is really just a legal
statement releasing us from
all vows and obligations
made from this Yom Kippur
4
to the next.
