Today Is Yom Kippur, the day when observant Jews petition God to forgive them their sins for the past year.

 

While I'm not particularly observant, nor am I a particularly active sinner, I think it's a good idea for everyone to occasionally take some quiet time to reflect on their actions and the direction of their lives.

 

That said, may all of our names be inscribed int the Book of Life for another year.

I feel the same..... I do not "observe" holidays as much as I used to, mostly because my family is spread out along the east coast....

 

I tend to take this day, and assess what I have done the past year, on how I have affected other people's lives.... ultimitly striving to hopefully have a positive effect on anyone I come into contact with....

thanks for reminding me, Ken! I'm technically a Buddhist, but ethnically a Jew. so I forget all these holidays. it's a good idea to reflect. I will do some of that right about now, as I've got some free time. as a wise Jew once said: live long and prosper
