Welcome to The Spirit of the Torah from Applied Jewish Spirituality (AJS).
In every episode, Rabbi Daniel Raphael Silverstein explores insights arising from the Hebrew calendar or weekly Torah portion, and related practices that can help us to effect positive change in our lives.
Yom Kippur is our holy of holies, and its central theme is forgiveness. Our sages teach that the day itself can erase our past mistakes, if we harness its unique power.
This episode about Yom Kippur explores key ideas from the Kabbalah about this special day, including its association with the quality of Binah (Understanding) and Olam Haba (The World that is Coming).
From these kabbalistic concepts, we draw some concrete insights and practices to enrich our experience of this powerful period in our calendar.
