Most people think the sins for which we seek forgiveness are the "ritual" or "religious" ones: not observing Shabbat or keeping kosher, and so forth. Most people also think that if they pray hard enough, their sins are forgiven by the time Yom Kippur ends. Actually, that forgiveness doesn't happen until the start of the next Yom Kippur--except for the sins between us and God, which are forgiven each year just at the moment Yom Kippur begins. There is a lot of misunderstanding about Yom Kippur and this podcast tries to correct many of these. Support the show
