Tenth Day of Tishrei 5781
Yom Kippur
Today is Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonment. Shabbat Shabbaton. The Sabbath of Sabbaths.
On this day, review the work you have done leading up to this day. Acknowledge your accomplishments. Recognize the ways that you have changed. Ask for forgiveness and notice what this day does for you.
Practice for this day:
Review the teachings and your responses to the practices over the past forty days. If you have not read or completed the practices for some of the days up to this point, or for any of them, do not become discouraged. T’shuvah is a lifelong process. There are many opportunities to begin again. There is no better time to start than right now. After all – it’s Yom Kippur.
As you look over the teachings, are there any ideas or responses that seem particularly powerful to you? Are there any ideas or feelings you particularly want to remember? Are there any thoughts you have written that you now wish to revise?

The process of t’shuvah does not end with Yom Kippur. Continue to make commitments to ways you still would like to change and grow. Jot down your thoughts here:
