Description
Based on part of a kuntres by Rav Tzvi Meir Zilberberg. The main thought going into Yom Kippur (Day of Atonment). Yom Kippur for our generation. Cleaning up after our failures with simchah (joy). Only Hashem knows the inner core of a Jew (not even the person himself knows his own depth). Why is "kol nidrei" the "entrance" tefillah (prayer) for Yom Kippur? Revealing my true essence through what I want to accomplish this year. During kol nidrei I clearly state that I absolutely don't want to associate with the person (me) who might sin next year. All I did, even when it was with full knowledge, was a terrible mistake. Finding the kodesh hakodashim (holy of holies) within ourselves. Every sin is like the luchos (first stone tablets), but the letters themselves are like our neshomos (souls) and can never be damaged. Every little bit of teshuvah (repentance) is significant.
