This morning we confront the startling verse in the Torah which indicates today is Yom Kippur, the 9th of Tishrei, though we all know tonight is Yom Kippur, the 10th of Tishrei. We analyze the approach of Rabbi Avraham Kook, who explains there are two aspects to our goal of Yom Kippur. The eating and drinking we do today complements the purely spiritual behaviours of tomorrow.

Michael Whitman is the senior rabbi of ADATH Congregation in Hampstead, Quebec, and an adjunct professor at McGill University Faculty of Law.

We take great pleasure in welcoming everyone with a warm smile, while sharing inspiration through prayer, study, and friendship.
