Yom Kippur - Sunset October 3 to nightfall October 4. Yom Kippur (Hebrew: יוֹם כִּפּוּר orיום הכיפורים), Also known as Day of Atonement, is the holiest day of the year. Yom means day in Hebrew and Kippur comes from a root that means to atone. The Day of Atonement is a day set aside for fasting, depriving oneself of pleasures, and repenting from the sins of the previous year. Yom Kippur falls ten days after Yom Teruah on the 10th of Tishrei, which is a Hebrew month that correlates with September-October on the secular calendar. The purpose of Yom Kippur is to bring reconciliation between people and between individuals and Yahveh. Yom Kippur means Day of Atonement and refers to the annual observance of fasting, prayer and repentance. The uniqueness the Hebrew Yom Kippur is the view that the creative “yom” explain that this is not an ordinary (24-hour) day, but a day that had been marked to indicate. Yom is used throughout the Old Testament, having a variety of meanings, including the referring to an undefined, indeterminate period of time set aside in Yahveh’s creation. The shoresh [root] for the word Kippur is kafar (כָּפַר), which probably derives from the word kofer,meaning ransom. As Yom Kippur is holiest day of the year, the day is set aside to which we are closest to Yahveh and our spiritual connection with Yahveh. It is the Day of Atonement-: “For on this day He will forgive you, to purify you, that you be cleansed from all your sins before Yahveh” (Leviticus 16:30). The spirituality of the day express our loyalty, obedience and confidence that Yahveh will accept our repentance, forgive our sins. Repentance requires an action from you. Action of obedience. The word kippah is a head covering. The uniqueness of the head covering is in the blessing we say every morning, thanking Yahveh for crowning Israel with splendor Our external actions create internal awareness. The word action is once again obedience with an internal sacrifice of willingness. A sacrament is the outward and visible sign of an inward and spiritual grace. The Yiddish word for head covering is yarmulke, comes from the Aramaic, yira malka, which means in awe of the King. In Hebrew, the head covering is called kippah. Yom Kippur is the “day of covering” the word kippur comes from the root “kafar” of “kofer”. Therefore atonement [kippur] means the condition which results when one makes amendments or offering, a satisfactory reparation as Yeshua, our High Priest, offered His own blood for the sins of others. We read in the Scripture that all have sinned and fall short of the glory of Yahveh, being justified as a gift by His grace through the redemption which is in Messiah Yeshua , whom Yahveh displayed publicly as a propitiation in His blood through faith. This was to demonstrate His righteousness, because in the forbearance of Yahveh, He passed over the sins previously committed. “Blessed are those whose lawless deeds have been forgiven, and whose sins have been covered.” The word kippah or Kipur reminds us of our commitment to Yahveh. Yeshua HaMashiach is our kippah as a sacramental offering. He covered” for those sins of our past, present and future through the atoning of His blood offering and Amazing Grace. Grace and peace to you from Yahveh our Father through the blood covering of Yeshua HaMashiach.
