Yom Kippur — the most important holiday of the Jewish year — ends today and I am dismayed to see no acknowledgment of it in TUT.

In order to make amends for this slight I am posting the special prayer that is made on this occasion:

The Kol Nidre (Prayer)

“All vows, obligations, oaths, and anathemas, whether called ‘ḳonam,’ ‘ḳonas,’ or by any other name, which we may vow, or swear, or pledge, or whereby we may be bound, from this Day of Atonement until the next (whose happy coming we await), we do repent. May they be deemed absolved, forgiven, annulled, and void, and made of no effect; they shall not bind us nor have power over us. The vows shall not be reckoned vows; the obligations shall not be obligatory; nor the oaths be oaths.”

  1. EQUINOX…..that’s all. Stop making a big deal out of the Earth’s rotation of the Sun….it’s happened before….at least once.

  2. Does any other faith in the world have such a prayer ?
    Is there ANYTHING spiritual, or Christlike in this?

    If your a Gentile ,they are speaking about cheating you,with their ” Gods” ,approval !
    Get it ?

    Does anyone out here believe this kind of thing is a ” religion”, of ethics that Pope John Paul,called,” our older brother? ”

    Is this subjective,and sanctified cheating the type if thing ” Conservatives”, today call ” Judeo Christain values?” .

    Judaism is no a “religion ” Its a mental illness. A malignant, and pathological way of life , sanctifying every cruelty ,and vice ,put go use for a supremicst tribe.

  3. ” Judaism is NOT a ” religion”. It’s a mental illness, . A malignant, pathological way of life ,sanctifying every cruelty and vice ,PUT to use for a supremicst tribe. Darn androids.
