A WIDE-ANGLE LOOK AT YOM KIPPUR

A WIDE-ANGLE LOOK AT THE "BOOK OF LIFE"
It is said that on Rosh Hashanah, God metaphorically opens the Book of Life in which every living person’s fate is recorded. Ten days later, on Yom Kippur, the book is sealed. Thus, Yom Kippur is a very solemn day during which people contemplate their actions during the past year, pray for forgiveness, and consider the behavior changes that would improve their lives.
