Yom
Kippur, the Day of Atonement, begins at sunset.
There is something mystical about Yom Kippur in that almost all
Jews recognize the holiness of the day: On Yom Kippur, G-d graces
the world with amnesty -- all one needs to do is to come and ask
for it. When we spend the day talking with G-d, we are discussing,
privately, all the things for which we need such amnesty, thereby
cleansing ourselves and helping us recognize how we can improve
our lives. In fact, the holiday is structured for us to build
towards this connection with our inner-selves and with G-d.
