 | Kol Nidrei, the prayer which ushers in the holy day of Yom Kippur, is perhaps the most famous one in our liturgy...

Wow! This was incredible to find the story and prayer on-line. You have made my Yom Kippur great. With the economics being the way they were, I have not been in synagogue for a few years and have browsed the web for service at home help.
This has definately helped. Thank you for this.

Thank you blessed Jews. I am a practising born again Christian, and obviously am very very interested in studying the jewish faith and observations. Truly inspiring. :-)

To my Jewish brothers and sisters I am a christian and I would love to learn more about the wonderful Tora. I promise to love God with all my heart .

This is a very insightful web site. It clearly explains Jewish traditions and Holy Days.

I mourn the fact there are no shtetls, villages or small towns for American Jews of today, due to the fact it takes large towns and dense population for the small percent who are Jews to support a congregation, a synogogue. Gone is the simple life. Instead there's crime, traffic, and hectic schedules. There is much to be said for separatism and little to be said for assimilation. And with this round of words, I'll finally get to my point, this site brings Judaism to the Jews who have escaped Sodom and Gemorrah into the small towns and villages across the US. The internet brings the message to those who have had the courage to abandon the quagmire of the cities. G_d bless and keep those messages coming! Shalom to all.

I said in 2005, it was great. It still is as I visit it again Yom Kippur eve 2007. As my wife struggles with her demons, this month, I become strengthened reading the stories and prayers from this site.

As a Christian gentile currently in seminary, learning the traditions given to you by G_d has been a blessing to me. May His blessings continue on Israel.

Coming into this High Holiday time, I am humbled by the way my life has unfolded: plunging me into painful, yet purifying circumstances that have left me variously stunned, confused, lost and pained, to and excrutiating degree, both physically and emotionally. The culmination of it all unfolds in seeing clearly the connection of my misdeeds to my life as a whole. That is the "purification" aspect. The impact on myself and others of my own thoughts, words and behavior have come so clearly to me that I will never be the same. I can't imagine life before this clarity. Baruch Ha'Shem.

as a person who has been studying for conversion for a few years i feel that thisholiday is what makes Judaism such a beautiful and holy religion. there is a serious soul searching and inward journey that we take which somehow makes us better...this is by no means an easy process....but nothing good EVER comes easy....and of course this work is sooooo important for spiritual growth

Just another chance for Yom Kippur to fill me with despair and make me want to pull a Jonah. I hate kol nidre. A sense of personal responsibility to God is what keeps me connected when everything else frays and falls apart. But look! here is a way for the community to destroy that too. I don't see anything beautiful in it- attaching the tune to al chet would be more appropriate.
The High Holidays seem so backwards: the tones of YK and RH should be switched! 1st the fear, then a week to act, then a celebratory tone would be much more practical. Why leave the reading of Jonah to mere hours before Judgement? Why not read it the week before when you have a whole week to do something about the lack of connection. The current order seems so unconstructive.
