Here's some words from my heart ❤️ to yours on the Eve of Yom Kippur- the Jewish Holiday of Forgiveness.
Yom Kippur, also widely known as the Day of Atonement, is a holiday where Jewish people reflect on their poor choices and ask for forgiveness from God and the people they have hurt/wronged. Jewish theology also says its the 10th of the first 10 days of the year during which God will decide if we will live or die in the year ahead. Rosh Ha Shannah-the first two days of the year (first of the 10 days of the year) are the two days of this "Accounting" of our good versus our not so good choices from the previous year. Whereas, Yom Kippur is a celebratory day in which we celebrate the idea that we are still here and all of the blessings we have had, continue to have, and will co-create in the year ahead. Homework: 1. Reach out to those people you may have hurt intentionally or unintentionally and ask for Forgiveness. 2. Reach out to those people who may have asked to be forgiven by you and you previously chose not to forgive. 3. Ask G-d for forgiveness for any of the ways you may have hurt others, yourself, or the world around you. Bring up specific examples and also say "And please forgive me for the things I unintentionally did to cause harm and don't even know about." 4. Reach out to a few close friends and or family members and ask "Is there any areas in which you think i could improve?" Doing the 4 big homework assignment above can only create more space for blessings in your life to flourish! May we all be sealed and inscribed in the book of life for a sweet, good, healthy, joyful and prosperous year ahead and beyond! -Barbara Heller See One Beautiful Soul podcast
