Description

Davening early on Yom Kippur. What are the differences between nusach ashkenaz and sefard in the avodah of YK? When is the afternoon tamid brought? Does the kohen gadol bow down? Do women or the chazan bow down? How does the kohen gadol get a spare wife? How many lots are drawn for the avodah for kohanim? Why does the kohen gadol dry himself when exiting the mikvah? What is unique about the laining on YK? Into how many units was the avodah of YK divided? Why did the kohen gadol remain in the azarah for one hour, after sending off the sair to Azazel? Why do we lain about the arayus during mincha? Which avodah can be done on the floor, and not on the mizbaiach? Why is YK called Yom Hakippurim in the plural? Is there atonement for the dead?
