Similarly, anyone who takes prescription medication for a serious medical condition should consult with their rabbi for advice on what to do. Erev Yom Kippur (Tuesday September 17) ​ Asking for forgiveness - Yom Kippur is a day to seek forgiveness from G-d for our offenses ​ against Him. But G-d will not forgive our sins until we seek forgiveness from our fellows.2 At the same time, one should be quick to forgive.3 This can be a humbling and worthwhile experience.4 Teshuva - Before we can discuss the rituals of the day, we must remember the whole point: ​ to regret our sins and return to G-d. One should carve out some alone time in the week and days preceding Yom Kippur for some genuine soul-searching about the past year and some constructive imagination of what an ideal upcoming year should look like. Hatarat Nedarim – Anyone who has not yet said hatarat nedarim (annulment of vows) ​ ​ ​ 1 NOTE: There is a Biblical mitzvah to “add” to your fast by beginning your fast early.

  • Text Study the Season of Our Rejoicing?
    TEXT STUDY THE SEASON OF OUR REJOICING? YOM KIPPUR AND SUKKOT: FINDING JOY IN UNEXPECTED PLACES In her sermon, Rabbi Buchdahl refers to the following statement in the Talmud (Ta’anit 4:8): The mishna states: Rabban Shimon ben Gamliel said: There were no days as happy for the Jewish people as the fifteenth of Av and as Yom Kippur. The Gemara states: Granted, Yom Kippur is a day of joy because it has the elements of pardon and forgiveness, and moreover, it is the day on which the last pair of tablets were given. In Abby Pogrebin’s My Jewish Year, Rabbi Elie Kaunfer also relies on this text, stating: I remember the first time I saw people dancing on Yom Kippur. The fast had ended, the final shofar blast had sounded, but instead of running for the exits, everyone broke out in spirited dancing. They were communicating with their feet: “The break-fast can wait.” It was time to feel the joy. This was quite different from how I had previously experienced Yom Kippur as a solemn day filled with apologies, existential questions and acute experiences of mortality. The only joy, in fact, was in making it to the break-fast. Yom Kippur as a day of joy dates back to the earliest rabbinic legal text, the Mishnah (Ta’anit 4:8): “R. Shimon Ben Gamliel said: Isaral had no better days than the 15th of Av and Yom Kippur.” There is so much joy at the section of the service known as the Avodah. It is the reenactment of the High Priest’s encounter with God.
