On Yom Kippur we embrace. Our harmony is no longer a harmony of "should", but a harmony of "is". All is forgiven. At onement

Yes, Yom Kippur is the day our souls can be cleansed. When we are clean we are worthy to hear G-d's voice and receive His gifts. When we are clean, is when we are nearest Him. Yom Kippur is that day.

I am not Jewish, but I wan't understanding of some element of your faith and I was lead to your site. Formailized religion means little to me, but your articles on Yom Kippur touched a very tender nerve within me. Thank you.

Thank you for this wonderful piece on Yom Kippur.
I am Jewish, traditional, shomer mitzvah...I sent this to all my friends...non-religious, religious and even to non-Jewish friends who honor and admire the Jewish faith. Tvi Freedman is a prolific writer.
Kol Hakavod! Shana Tova.

This article touched my soul...thank you so much for writing it. As the tears fall down my face my soul glows with pride at being able to share this beautiful holiday with the rest of my Jewish family. L'Shana Tova.

Very nice take on Yom Kippur. It's probably the one I will bring to shul.
Wish you and yours a meaningful Yom Kippur and fast, with G-d's help.

There is no coincidence or accident that atonement leads to at-one-ment. Who designed the languages? Is not The Almighty the originator of all languages? You are right on with your understanding. Believe it or not this is not new. I learned this back in 1970. I can give you some history on this if you wish...

This article gave me a clearer picture of true forgiveness and being one with the creator.

I love this article... I totally 100% agree with this it is amazing I agree and I love how G-D uses words, and shows us how he has always been and always will be speaking to us, he created every language, there are no mistakes. My only ache in my heart is, that I believe that there is a freedom, and a onement, everyday, and in a cense a Yon Kippur a new beginning is offered to us daily actually to me every time, I sin, I can repent turn, ask for forgiveness, and be released, from my sins, what happens through year, with your pain, and your guilt, and your shame and your anger and fears, what do with those, if you have to wait for these 10 days when God is near, In the beginning was the Father, Son and Holy Ghost, and they are still together, and they left us Holy Ghost he comforts, he is the one that draws our hearts to onement, to repentance, to reconcile us back to Father God daily, sometimes, many times a day...we all love the same God, he wants us all to be in his family.

Refreshing take on Yom Kippur, emphasizing the joy we are meant to feel on this day of starting again, in harmony with haShem...

This is an outstanding article. Since I as a child I have heard people mention atonement. This is the first time I have ever looked at the word in its broken state. To be one with man is good, but to be one with G-d is great.
