Let’s talk about Yom Kippur. This is the day when the building of a spiritual vessel is completed. We know that the whole reality includes only the Light and the vessel. The Light is the Creator, and the vessel is a creation, a soul, Malchut. The light stays at absolute rest and does not change. The only intent of the Light is to give enjoyment, that is, to bring a person to the feeling of eternal and infinite enjoyment. Look at the whole process of building a spiritual vessel, from its lowest state, in which we find ourselves now, to the highest sublime, eternal and perfect state. This whole process is denoted by the Ten Days of Repentance. During these ten days, starting from the first day of Rosh ha-Shana until Yom Kippur a soul that has nothing in it besides the desire to enjoy, starts gradually acquiring the properties of Light. The desire to enjoy receives ten changes, ten Sefirot, which underlie the correction of souls. During these ten days, the soul becomes completely corrected and ready for the reception of Light. On the tenth day of repentance, Yom Kippur, it is not allowed to show any desire to receive and enjoy, and in our world it is expressed in prohibition of food, drink, and other limitations on the day of the fast. On that day, the last correction takes place. kabbalah.info
