Vol. 7 Issue # 9
From the Desk of Rabbi Blatt:
Yom Kippur is the Jewish holiday which enjoys the highest level of
synagogue attendance during the year. Regular attending congregants, as
well as those who only attend religious services once a year are drawn to
the synagogue to participate in a communal act of atonement. While each of
us approach the observance of Yom Kippur in our own way, many people
do carry out a full day of fasting to fulfill the biblical commandment to
practice self-denial. Midrashic writings from the ancient rabbinic sages also
stress fasting as a historic reminder of Israel’s repentance for the incident
of the Golden Calf. The act of fasting not only reminds us of our total
dependence upon forces greater than ourselves for food, but reinforces our
ability to concentrate on prayer, repentance and self-improvement, at least
for one day a year.
In ancient times, the observance of Yom Kippur was quite different from
what we do today. The biblical ceremony of atonement reflected the strong
belief in magic and superstition prevalent among the people of that era. The
High Priest of the Temple, or Kohen Gadol, performed a rite of expiation
on behalf of all the people. As described in the Torah, Leviticus 16:7-22,
two goats were brought before the High Priest and based on the drawing
of lots, one goat was sacrificed on the altar as a sin offering and the other
was designated as a “scapegoat.” Symbolically, the “scapegoat” assumed
all the sins of the people as the Kohen placed his hands upon the animal’s
head. Then, the goat was driven off into the wilderness, supposedly carrying
with it the blame for our misdeeds during the past year.
Once the First Temple was destroyed, however, and the Judeans were
driven into exile in Babylonia, the observance of Yom Kippur changed
radically. The need to find new ways to atone led to individual and communal
prayer, fasting and the giving of charity. Even after the Temple was rebuilt
and animal sacrifice was resumed, the new rituals were retained. When the
Second Temple was finally destroyed by the Romans in the year 70 of the
Common Era, animal sacrifice ceased forever, leaving prayer, fasting and
charitable giving as the primary rites of Yom Kippur observance to this
very day.
I want to wish all of our congregants an easy fast and “G'mar Hatimah
Tovah” / “May You Be Sealed for a Good Year (in the Book of Life).”
Sincerely,
Dr. Kenneth Stuart Blatt, Rabbi/Cantor Congregation Shaara Tfille
