Yom Kippur, which falls on the tenth day of Tishri, is the holiest day of the Jewish year. It’s a day of transcendent joy, a day of restoration, and a day of self-denial. A time to confront the deeds of the past year and reconcile with oneself and with anyone whom one has hurt or wronged. Its ultimate intension is to cleanse the soul of sin before God. On this day, the Jew feels the strongest sense of partnership with God, knowing that if the struggles to redress the wrongs he has committed, God will offer forgiveness.
