Is this the fast that I have chosen? | Rabbi David
Two men went up to pray—one proud of his record, the other pleading for mercy.
Two kinds of fasting—one to be seen, the other to set free.
One counts his good deeds; the other counts on God’s grace.
Yom Kippur asks:
Are we afflicting ourselves… or awakening compassion?
Are we tallying what we’ve done for God… or remembering what He’s done for us?
This year, it’s time to get dressed—
not in sackcloth and ashes,
but in compassion, humility, and love.

By Rabbi David WeinTwo men went up to pray—one proud of his record, the other pleading for mercy.
Two kinds of fasting—one to be seen, the other to set free.
One counts his good deeds; the other counts on God’s grace.
Yom Kippur asks:
Are we afflicting ourselves… or awakening compassion?
Are we tallying what we’ve done for God… or remembering what He’s done for us?
This year, it’s time to get dressed—
not in sackcloth and ashes,
but in compassion, humility, and love.
