This evening is the start of Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement.
Jews fast and believe that our fate for the next year is inscribed in the Book of Life, by G-d during this day. The final words, the final notes are written and sealed with the sound of the shofar.
It's a very holy day, and I personally have some stuff that I need to atone for and I look forward to this day as a time to reflect and speak to G-d and pray for a good year for my family, friends and myself. It's quite a day.
Wishing all my Jewish friends an easy and meaningful fast and may we all (Jews and our non-Jewish friends and supporters) be inscribed for a happy, healthy, good New Year in the Book of Life.
G'mar Chatimah Tova!
