Yom Kippur
The holiest day on the Hebrew calendar is also the most misunderstood. Yom Kippur is a day of profound connection and transcendence. Discover the real Yom Kippur.
The Meaningful Life Center offers hundreds of insights into the meaning of Yom Kippur. We answer questions like, “What is Yom Kippur?” and “Can you tell me how to repent?” Make your day of atonement more than just a day of repentance — the Meaningful Life Center can show you the mystical dimensions of Yom Kippur so that you can enjoy this holiday like never before.
