Yom Kippur or Yom Kippur is a characteristic holiday of Judaism and which is known as the day of atonement or the day of forgiveness. This celebration is considered the most important and sacred within the Jewish calendar. During this holiday there are a series of prohibitions related to fasting, pleasures and personal comfort. The objective of these rules is the elevation of the spirit to establish a connection with the Creator.
It is important to bear in mind that in the Jewish religion everything that takes place here on Earth is a preparation for eternal life. In addition to what has already been stated, Yom Kippur marks the end of the “Ten Days of Repentance”, as well as offering the Jewish people the last opportunity to be forgiven and absolved for all those sins committed in the previous year.
Without a doubt, the request for forgiveness is one of the most popular and popular customs of this celebration. Sorry for hurting, sorry for bothering, sorry for insulting, etc.
According to the wisdom of Kabbalah explains that "forgiveness" is not just a request that is made from the mouth out, on the contrary this is a special stage, in which man begins to understand that the spiritual world is the which is responsible for uniting all souls in a unique and wonderful unit. That distance that man discovers that exists between his being and the force of love and union, provoke in man a feeling that prompts him to carry out a deep internal examination.
In the texts of the Jewish Bible, being more specific in the book of Vaikrá that corresponds with the book of Leviticus within the Christian Bible, it is stated that God ordered Moses that on the ten days of the seventh month, the day of the expiation and during its course men must make offerings to God in order to purify their souls. Similarly, it is specified that no work should be carried out on this day.
