Win One for the Kippur

Listen Later

Alright all you sinners…this one’s for you. This episode is everything you ever wanted to know about how to get back in Hashem’s good graces. You know it, you love it…it’s Yom Kippur.

On this episode we discuss:

  • Yom Kippur is often misunderstood as a heavy holiday, but it is fundamentally hopeful.

  • The day is an opportunity for new beginnings and letting go of past baggage.

  • Fasting on Yom Kippur is a form of sacrifice that strengthens resolve.

  • Kol Nidre serves as a technical prayer to nullify past vows and promises.

  • The communal aspect of Yom Kippur and the concept of sacrifice

  • The significance of Kol Nidre.

  • How tradition plays a crucial role in personal and collective identity.

  • That crazy tradition of Kapparot that I never get tired of making fun of ChayaLeah for.

    • One way you may be able to cleanse your soul this year is by subscribing to our podcast, our YouTube channel and/or our new Instagram. I’m fairly certain Hashem counts all of those as Mitzvot.
