| | L'Chaim: 838: Yom-Kipur |
 | | On Yom Kippur we all go to the synagogue, sit down, position ourselves in neutral and wait for the conveyor belt to begin moving. |
 | | This is also reflected in the "essence of the Day (Yom Kippur)" the unique and only day in the year, which of all the festivals ordained in the Torah, is celebrated for one day only, both in and outside of the Land of Israel. |
 | | On Yom Kippur, we solemnly intone the ancient words: "Repentance, prayer and charity, annul the harmful decree." It is not only the noise made by the charity, then, as the Baal Shem Tov mentioned, but the actual giving of the charity that is so important. |
