Our Father, Our King – Yom Kippur

Why in the prayer of Avinu Malkeinu do we say both אָבִֽינוּ מַלְכֵּֽנוּ עֲשֵׂה לְמַֽעַן הֲרוּגִים עַל שֵׁם קָדְשֶֽׁךָ 'Our Father Our King, Act for the sake of those who were murdered for Your Holy Name," and also, אָבִֽינוּ מַלְכֵּֽנוּ עֲשֵׂה לְמַֽעַן טְבוּחִים עַל יִחוּדֶֽךָ “Our Father, Our King, Act for the sake of those who were slaughtered for Your Oneness?" Aren't they the same thing?

Looking Forward – A Story for Elul

If you dwell on the past, it’s easy to get depressed. Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur are times when for sure we have to take stock and review the past, but the most important thing is to be so excited about how we can start to do things right.

Giving someone 'the benefit of the doubt' does more than change your mind about them, it changes" the way they see themselves.
