FACTORY WARRANTY r Day Of Forgiveness the Day of Atonement (In Hebrew, yom means "day" and kippur means "atone- ment"), the day we seek forgiveness for our sins. () Why We Observe: The command- ment to observe Yom Kippur is found in the Torah in Leviticus 16:29 and Numbers 29:7. Further expansion on the hOliday is found in Leviticus- 16:30- 34, 23:26-32 and Numbers 29:8-11. Customs: It is traditional on Yom C5 Kippur to wear.white. The color reminds us of our mortality (because burial shrouds are white) and is a sym- bol of purity (because we hope that God will forgive our sins and restore us to lives of virtue). It is customary to greet one another with Gmar chatima tova ("May your fate be sealed for the good"); some people shorten the greet- ing to Gmar tov. Rituals: The commandment to observe Yom Kippur states that the Jews shall."afflict" themselves. The rab- bis interpreted this to mean five things: no food or drink, no wearing of leather shoes, no bathing for pleasure, no mari- tal relations, no anointing with oils (in ancient times, people used oil to clean, soften and perfume the skin). The pro- hibition against food and drink also includes smoking. Persons on a regimen of medication should consult with their rabbi for the proper procedure for taking medicine. As with all Jewish holidays, Yom Kippur includes extra prayers and a Torah reading. The prayers for Yom Kippur, however, are the longest of any day in the year. In many congregations, the recitation of prayers takes up the better part of the day. A significant feature of the Yom Kippur liturgy is the vidui, or confes- sion. This consists of Ashamnu ("We have trespassed"), an alphabetically arranged list of sins, and Al Chet ("For the sin"), a long inventory of transgres- sions, accompanied by beating of the breast. The confession is recited at all of the services of Yom Kippur. Along with Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur is the only day when we pros- trate ourselves in prayer — in a modi- fied form — as was done in the days of the Holy Temple in Jerusalem. The prostration is done during the cantor's repetition of the musafservice. Prostration is performed by kneeling and touching the forehead to the floor. It is practiced almost exclusively by Orthodox Jews. Yom Kippur includes two unique prayer services: Kol Nidre, which begins Yom Kippur and in which we nullify all personal vows for the coming year, and Neilah, which closes the holiday. Yom Kippur ends with a blast of the shofar (ram's horn). *Thematic Significance: Yom Kippur is regarded as the day on which God seals the decision He made on Rosh Hashanah regarding the fate of every person. We envision a Book of Life in which appear the names of every human being. On Rosh Hashanah, God decides the fate of each soul, and on Yom Kippur He seals His decision. It is generally said that Yom Kippur — unlike other holidays such as Pesach, Shavuot, Chanukah and Purim — does not commemorate a historical event. Traditionally, however, we believe that Yom Kippur is the anniversary of God's forgiving the Jewish people for their first disastrous, national sin — the infamous episode of the golden calf. Moses chastised the people, destroyed the tablets of the Torah and went back up the mountain a second time to pray for God's forgiveness and to receive new tablets (Exodus 32:30-35). Moses returned to the encampment, then ascended the mountain a third time (Exodus 34). This is reckoned as the first day of Elul, the month immediately preceding Rosh Hashanah. Moses prayed for God to grant the Jewish people complete atonement. After 40 days, God erased the collective sin of the Jews and Moses returned to the people on the 10th of Tishrei, Yom Kippur. O
