Yom Kippur (5772)

Erev Yom Kippur 5772
by Mordechai Dolinsky

The essence of Yom Kippur is a 25 hour time zone which has the ability to cleanse us of aveiros. It is not connected with Shmoneh Esrei and every minute and second has this Divine cleansing gift. Before and after davening, in bed about the fall alseep, whenever we think of some issue which needs this Divine cleansing we should take advantage of it and do teshuva with charata over the past and kabala for the future. In our kabala we should analyze the situation which exposed us to the temptation and make a commitment not to enter that scene.

It is best to come to davening with a personalized list of our own shortcomings for which we want forgiveness.

Have a gmar chasima tova and a wonderful year to all.
