Yom Kippur is probably the most important holiday of the Jewish year. Many Jews who do not observe any other Jewish custom will refrain from work, fast and/or attend synagogue services on this day. Yom Kippur occurs on the 10th day of Tishri The holiday is instituted at Leviticus 23:26 et seq.
The name "Yom Kippur" means "Day of Atonement," and that pretty much explains what the holiday is. It is a day set aside to "afflict the soul," to atone for the sins of the past year.
The way my year has been and its still going I feel as though I've done something wrong as I've said before, lol.
Yom Kippur atones only for sins between man and G-d, not for sins against another person. To atone for sins against another person, you must first seek reconciliation with that person, righting the wrongs you committed against them if possible. That must all be done before Yom Kippur.
Mind you since the stroke I do get angry its random, and since coming off one set of meds, its getting worse, and I do wonder if I've always been this high and low kind of person, if I look back, so can I blame the stroke?
Talking of which I sit and await the call to head back for the MRI.
And I am pretty sure we shall do the wee test to see my mood swings, as they get thanks to a stroke bad for every one. I shall believe that 12 year old looking registrar!
But, this last week or so I think I've always been prone to depression etc, its not been noticeable really until now. Its like the stroke pushed it up there. My mother suffered from it, sure of it, so maybe its genetic?
Who knows, but its not been a lot of fun.
