Hello everybody, quick thought on Yom Kippur.
0:03
Okay, so after the Yavayidah of Yom Kippur, the Pesach tells us like this, Ha'isad za'isachem l'chukasaylim, which would be an eternal decree, ha'ba v'nei yisol, l'kapra v'nei yisol, kocha tesechem, from all the sins, achas pashana, once a year, yaskash etziva, shem esmai, shem arended, as Moshe commanded.

So now the question they ask is, why does it say achas b'shana? Every yontif that Torah brings down is also once a year, and it never mentions this Lashon.

Another question we could ask is, that we see that there are other times during the year where you do get a kapara.

Not in Saitim Kippur, but it's brought down that, they learn now from the death of Aaron, the death of Miriam, Miriam was near Paraduma to teach us that just like Paraduma's Mechapra, so too is Misa Tzaddikim.

Aaron's death was near the Big Day Kahuna, the Talas, just as the Big Day Kahuna Mechapra, so too is Misa Tzaddikim.
