Blessings and Hope for Yom Kippur

Yom Kippur means or is Hebrew and it translates as ‘The Day of Atonement’ and the  Jewish people will spend the day atoning for their sins, through fasting and prayer. The history of Yom Kippur relates to the followers of Judaism it is believed that when the Israelites left Egypt, they went to Mount Sinai where Moses climbed to the top of the mountain. God gave Moses two tablets inscribed with the Ten Commandments, with the first commandment instructing people not to worship any false idols or gods. When Moses came down from the mountain, he found the Israelites worshiping a golden calf. Moses  was mad and shattered the tablets. Then the Jewish people begged  God’s forgiveness, the Israelites atoned for their sins later this day – the 10th day of Tishrei – and God forgave them, granting Moses two new tablets. This is why the 10th day of Tishrei – the first month of the Jewish year – became a day of atonement, Yom Kippur. In order to gain atonement from God on Yom Kippur, Jewish people believe that one must: pray, repent of one's sins, and give to charities. 

We all as God's people no matter what religion should atone for our sins, to pray daily, to repent our sins and turn from sin, and to give to charities and acts of kindness and service. Yom Kippur is a beautiful day for all people no matter what religion to honor and respect and practice. We can all always atone from sins and try to be better people of God. Miracles from God can happen for all of us like they did for the Jewish people when they atoned as can be seen by the history here. Atone for God's miracles! He loves all of us so much!
