The Crash Course on Yom Kippur

In this 6-minute long video, Orthodox Rabbi, Avraham Goldhar, presents an excellent overview of the significance and customs of Yom Kippur, “a spiritual homecoming for the Jewish people.” He summarizes the ancient biblical origins of the day – the story of the Golden Calf and explains the deep spiritual power of atonement, achieved through various rituals performed before and during the holiday. Rabbi Goldhar outlines the synagogue services, with a special emphasis on how the prayers maximize the spiritual potential of the day. Rabbi Avraham Goldhar is the founder of the Goldhar School, home of the Fastest Jewish Education on Earth.
