Description

Chassidus Applied to Yom Kippur

Why is this time of year so special?
What opportunities does it offer us?
What is the building of Malchus during the Ten Days of Teshuva?
Should we fear Yom Kippur?
As non-practicing Jews, what is the best way for us to participate in Yom Kippur?
What does the word holy mean?
Why did the High Priest pronounce the holy Tetragrammaton on Yom Kippur, and we are not allowed to do so?
Why do kohanim wear special garments in the Temple?
How is the Seder Avodah relevant to us today?
How do the five prayers correspond to the five parts of the soul?
Why do we go to the mikveh Erev Yom Kippur?
Why do we have fast days when we are not supposed to punish our bodies?
Isn’t fasting distracting and counterproductive to being reflective and introspective?
How are we so sure that we will be completely forgiven?
Do we have a nuclear option in our davening that is so strong it guarantees Hashem will forgive us on Yom Kippur?
What is the connection between Yom HaKippurim and Purim?
Why do we say Kol Nidrei after we already did hatoras nedarim Erev Rosh Hashana?
If regular laymen have the power to form a court for hatoras nedarim, why can't they form a court and rule that Moshiach must come immediately?
Why do we need Yom Kippur if we already fooled the Satan before Rosh Hashana?
Why do we say Baruch Shem out loud on Yom Kippur?
If we say some prayers in Aramaic so that the prosecuting angels, who don't understand Aramaic, can't interfere, why aren't all prayers in Aramaic?
