The God who created us in His image gave us freedom. No religion has held such a high view of human possibility. All He asks is that we acknowledge our mistakes, learn from them, grow through them and make amends where we can. It tells us that God, who created the universe in love and forgiveness, reaches out to us in love and forgiveness, asking us to love and forgive others. TO THOSE WHO fully open themselves to it, Yom Kippur is a life-transforming experience. Yom Kippur was saved, and it is not too much to say that Jewish faith was also saved.Īdapted from the introduction to the Koren Yom Kippur Machzor with commentary and translation by Rabbi Sacks The drama that once took place in the Temple could now take place in the human heart. They needed no one else to apologise for them. Even ordinary Jews could, as it were, come face to face with the Shechinah, the Divine presence. Instead of the High Priest acting as a representative, God Himself would purify His people without the need for an intermediary. Yom Kippur was transferred from the Temple in Jerusalem to every synagogue in the world. It was then that a transformation took place that must constitute one of the great creative responses to tragedy in history. Above all, there was no Yom Kippur ritual through which the people could find forgiveness. There was no longer a High Priest, no sacrifice, no Divine fire, no Levites singing praises or crowds thronging the precincts of Jerusalem and filling the Temple Mount. It was a moment of intense drama in the life of a people who believed that their fate depended on their relationship with God, who knew that there is no life, let alone a nation, without sin, and who knew from their history that sin could be punished by catastrophe.Īfter the destruction of the Second Temple, everything changed. The holiest man in Israel, the High Priest, entered the most sacred space, the Holy of Holies, confessed the sins of the nation using God’s holiest name, and secured atonement for all Israel. In ancient times Yom Kippur was celebrated in the form of a massive public ceremony set in the Temple in Jerusalem.

Even if there’s nothing we regret, Yom Kippur makes us think about how to use the coming year in such a way as to bring blessings into the lives of others by way of thanking God for all He has given us. God forgives every mistake we’ve made as long as we are honest in regretting it and doing our best to put it right.

The single most important lesson of Yom Kippur is that it’s never too late to change, start again, and live differently from the way we’ve done in the past. We reflect on what has happened to us and what we plan to do in the coming year. YOM KIPPUR is the holy of holies of Jewish time, when we give an account of our lives.
