Yom Kippur approaching! “G'mar Chatima Tova” : May you be sealed in the Book of Life.”
In Jewish tradition it is said the whole world is judged on Rosh Hashana (New Year) and the judgement sealed on Yom Kippur. One of the main prayers of Yom Kippur focuses on three things that can overturn a negative judgement, repentance, prayer and charitable acts, which become important practices during this time. An important part of repentance is self-reflection. Rabbi Jonathan Sacks said, “Yom Kippur is the day of days, when we give an account of our lives. We reflect on what happened to us and what we plan to do in the coming year. The single most important lesson of Yom Kippur is that it is never too late to change, start again and live differently from the way we have done in the past. Yom Kippur makes us think about how we want to approach the coming year.” On Yom Kippur we reflect on how we have treated others and ourselves. It is a time to evaluate your life and relationships and consider what you would like to improve in the future.

Parashat Vayelech!Deuteronomy 31:1–30The Parshah of Vayelech (“and he went”) recounts the events of Moses’ last day of earthly life. “I am one hundred and twenty years old today,” he says to the people, “and I can no longer go forth and come in.” He transfers the leadership to Joshua, and writes (or concludes writing) the Torah in a scroll which he entrusts to the Levites for safekeeping in the Ark of the Covenant. The mitzvah of hak’hel (“gather”) is given: every seven years, during the festival of Sukkot of the first year of the shemittah cycle, the entire people of Israel—men, women and children—should gather at the Holy Temple in Jerusalem, where the king should read to them from the Torah. Vayelech concludes with the prediction that the people of Israel will turn away from their covenant with G‑d, causing Him to hide His face from them, but also with the promise that the words of the Torah “shall not be forgotten out of the mouths of their descendants.” © Copyright, all rights reserved.
