Crash\u00a0Cards for Yom Kippur (ca 5760)<\/strong><\/p>\n

by Marc Mangel<\/p>\n

\u2022 What is the organizing principle of Yom Kippur?<\/p>\n

\u2022 In\u00a0When Bad Things Happen to Good People,\u00a0<\/em>Kushner tells the story of a father’s who daughter dies in a car accident and the man begins with “You know, Rabbi, I didn’t fast last Yom Kippur”<\/p>\n

\u2022 Today is not about retribution. Many Torah portions could have been picked but the morning Torah reading is about God releasing us from missed opportunities. It is not about taking care of heaven but of Heaven taking care of us<\/p>\n

\u2022 The world is given to us to make holy. How do we do this?<\/p>\n

\u2022 The morning Haftorah tells us that a meaningless fast is seen in heaven.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Rather: Don’t do business today, don’t oppress, don’t be in strife, let the oppressed go free, share bread with the hungry, take the wretched into your home, banish the menacing hand and evil speech, offer compassion to the hungry. \u00a0In other words — take care of the world.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Tikkun Olam is what today is about.<\/p>\n

\u2022 The traditional reading for Mincha is Vayikra 18: how to relate to the people closest to you. \u00a0An alternative sometimes read is Vayikra 19: the holiness code, about how to take care of the community<\/p>\n

\u2022 I won’t repeat myself.<\/p>\n

\u2022 The crescendo for the day is Jonah. \u00a0Rabbi Hirsch notes that this Haftorah speaks of the repentance of the people of Nineveh and how God forgave them.<\/p>\n

\u2022 This Haftorah shows the importance of individual behavior and how all can hinge on the actions of one person.<\/p>\n

\u2022 In conclusion. First, leave here with renewed vigor for Tikkun Olam this year. Second, behave as if the souls of 120,000 people (and many cattle) depend on what you do.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
