Shalom everyone, and thank you for being here, of course.

And today, before Yom Kippur, naturally we are going to talk about Yom Kippur.
0:22
So, as usually we do, first we'll see what is Yom Kippur, all about for the Torah, for Israel.
0:35
And then we'll switch back and ask ourselves, what is there to do with us, with the belief in Allah? We understand Yom Kippur was a great day for Israelites, but what about us? What can we learn on Yom Kippur? How should we celebrate Yom Kippur? That's kind of the main topic of our class.
1:10
So first, we all recognize, we all know that Yom Kippur, Atonement Day, or Day of Atonement, is the holiest day in the Jewish calendar.
1:27
and it is completely dedicated to one topic, to repentance and forgiveness from my shame.

There's a special Shabbat this Shabbat.

You know that President Trump declared, officially declared that this Shabbat is a Shabbat to be kept for all Jews in America should keep this Shabbat before Shavuot, before Matan Torah.

That's a presidential decree.
1:01
