Quick Talk - Yom Kippur in three minutes with Rabbi Eli Bohm

[Music] yom kippur is the holiest day of the year the culmination of the days of all the day god forgives all of us for our sins after the sin of the golden calf moshe spent 80 days begging god to forgive the jewish nation finally achieving the full atonement on yom kippur thus establishing that day as a day of atonement for all time the laws of yom kippur begin really the day before yom kippur on air of yom kippur those who have not done kapparis do so in the morning either with a live chicken or with money depending on your custom it is a mitzvah to eat on this day in preparation of the great day ahead you can and you should eat a festive meal in the mid-morning it is customary for men to immerse themselves in the mikvah as well at minha we say vidoy at the end of the quiet shimon esre in the late afternoon we eat another meal before the fast known as the tsutamavsekas we try to only eat light easily digestible foods there's a beautiful custom where fathers bless their children before leaving for sure women must light candles just like a regular friday night an additional candle is also lit to be used for abdullah after yom kippur the prohibition to eat and drink wear leather shoes wash or shower smear lotions and oils and to have marital relations all begin when the night of yom kippur sets in children close to the age of bar mitzvah or bas mitzvah should also be trained to fast at least a portion of the day and preferably the night one who is ill and cannot fast should consult a rabbi before trying to fast on yom kippur just like shabbat shabbos while may not cook or carry on yom kippur married men must wear a kittle throughout yom kippur services the talus is worn at night at call nidre and at marev it must be dawn before sunset in order to recite the bracha the blessing we pray with extra concentration and fervor throughout this holy day especially at nila the culmination of the homekeepers services that is our last chance that we try to take advantage it is permitted to drink water after nightfall before abdullah at abdullah we don't use the summit but we do recite borimura on a candle that was lit before yom kippur following yom kippur a festive meal should be eaten to break the fast because we are happy and confident that god has forgiven us if possible one should try to work on building the sukkah immediately after yom kippur to go directly from performing one mitzvah to another and we're also excited leaving yom kippur that god has listened to our prayers and we take that excitement and we translate that into performing more and more mitzvos and fulfilling god's will and our purpose of being here in this [Music] world you
