Understanding YOM KIPPUR
Yom Kippur is the day of forgiveness. It is not a festive meal day: it is a day of fasting, prayer and introspection.
Teshuva — the return — concerns both our relationship with the Creator and our relationship with others.
Traditions
- A day of fasting.
- The Yom Kippur prayers, from the start to the end of the day.
- Teshuva: sincere return and self-examination.
- Asking forgiveness from those we have hurt.
- A time of reflection and repair.
When a practice varies, it is presented as a custom according to communities, not as a universal obligation.
What this feast teaches us
« Yom Kippur invites us to look at our actions and our responsibility toward others. »
