Yom Kippur

Yom Kippur

Reflection

“For on this day He will forgive you, to purify you, that you be cleansed from all your sins before G‑d” (Leviticus 16:30).

Prayer

Creator of all,

As the Days of Awe draw towards a close, we pray that all of us would feel the weight of our responsibility before you, our one Creator, to acknowledge the wrongs that have kept us from living in the ways you have shown us. Personally and communally, may we embrace this moment you have given so as to turn our hearts again towards you and renew our commitment to follow the pathway we know leads to light and life and blessing. Your way is ever before us. Thank you. Amen.
