Parasha Inspire - Yom Kippur: Teshuvah!

Yum kipper is the greatest day of the year. Yum Kipper is the happiest day of the year. But don't make a mistake what yum kipper is all about. Don't think yum kipper is about singing. Yum kipper is not about inspiration. Yum kipper is not about a warm feeling. The main objective of yum kipper is tshouva. If someone fasts on yum kipper and they don't do chuva, they don't accomplish too much. They may have lost a pound or two, which is a good thing, but spiritually they are not achieving kapara. Yom kipper does not grant atonement without tshoua. comes Rabbi Solos Salanter and Rabbi Solos Salanter offers the Jewish people a lifesaving idea and that is it's not all or nothing. It's not I'm never going to speak lashar again or I'm never going to waste time again or I'm never going to say a bra without kavana salant reveals that we are most liable for violating an a when it was easy not to violate the aisan brings the gar that says that the punishment for not wearing the white strings of kas is much worse than the punishment for not putting on the blue strings cuz the White strings were inexpensive. They were readily accessible. The blue strings were more expensive, more difficult to get. And therefore, there's more punishment for not putting on the white strings. From here, we see we are most liable for not doing mitzvo for violating an a when it was easy. And therefore says the main objective and job on is to to try to identify aos we may have done when it was easy for us not to do the a or mitzvo we didn't fulfill when it was easy for us. And if we could eliminate those we have tapped in to the lifesaving powers of yam kipper and it will be the greatest day of our life. So while everyone is singing and while you're in shul and you're saying all the words and all the pages, our mind should be focused on trying to look into our souls and remember what we did in this past year and try to identify things we could change that it's easy for us not to do. If we do that will be the greatest day of our life.
