Hence: no eating or drinking, no bathing, no anointing, no sexual relations, no leather shoes. It is customary for men to wear a <\/span><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">kittel<\/span><\/em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, a white garment reminiscent, some say, of the white tunic the High Priest wore when he entered the Holy of Holies (<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mateh Efrayim <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">610:11). Others say it is like a burial shroud (Rema, ibid. 3). Either way, it reminds us of the truths we must face alone. The Torah says that \u201cNo man shall be in the Tent of Meeting when [Aaron] comes to make atonement in the holiest place, until he leaves\u201d (Lev. 16:17). Like the High Priest on this holy day, we face God alone. We confront our mortality alone. Outwardly we are in the company of others, but inwardly we are giving a reckoning for our individual life, singular and unique. The fact that everyone else around us is doing likewise makes it bearable.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"direction: ltr;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Excerpted from the <\/span><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Koren Yom Kippur Machzor<\/span><\/em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p>image:\u00a0Jakub Weinles: <em>On the eve of Yom Kippur, <\/em>c. 1900 \/ wikimedia commons<\/p>\n","image":{"ID":106126,"id":106126,"title":"-62c1acaf85db6--62c1acaf85db7lev16-weinles-on-the-eve-of-yom-kippur.jpg","filename":"62c1acaf85db6-62c1acaf85db7lev16-weinles-on-the-eve-of-yom-kippur.jpg.jpg","filesize":0,"url":"https:\/\/cetwpuploads.blob.core.windows.net\/wp929\/uploads\/2018\/12\/62c1acaf85db6-62c1acaf85db7lev16-weinles-on-the-eve-of-yom-kippur.jpg.jpg","link":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/en\/facing-god-alone-together\/62c1acaf85db6-62c1acaf85db7lev16-weinles-on-the-eve-of-yom-kippur-jpg\/","alt":"","author":"7","description":"","caption":"","name":"62c1acaf85db6-62c1acaf85db7lev16-weinles-on-the-eve-of-yom-kippur-jpg","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":45329,"date":"2022-07-03 14:50:23","modified":"2023-12-16 21:25:32","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","type":"image","subtype":"jpeg","icon":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":599,"height":445,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/cetwpuploads.blob.core.windows.net\/wp929\/uploads\/2018\/12\/62c1acaf85db6-62c1acaf85db7lev16-weinles-on-the-eve-of-yom-kippur.jpg-150x150.jpg","thumbnail-width":150,"thumbnail-height":150,"medium":"https:\/\/cetwpuploads.blob.core.windows.net\/wp929\/uploads\/2018\/12\/62c1acaf85db6-62c1acaf85db7lev16-weinles-on-the-eve-of-yom-kippur.jpg-300x223.jpg","medium-width":300,"medium-height":223,"medium_large":"https:\/\/cetwpuploads.blob.core.windows.net\/wp929\/uploads\/2018\/12\/62c1acaf85db6-62c1acaf85db7lev16-weinles-on-the-eve-of-yom-kippur.jpg.jpg","medium_large-width":599,"medium_large-height":445,"large":"https:\/\/cetwpuploads.blob.core.windows.net\/wp929\/uploads\/2018\/12\/62c1acaf85db6-62c1acaf85db7lev16-weinles-on-the-eve-of-yom-kippur.jpg.jpg","large-width":599,"large-height":445,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/cetwpuploads.blob.core.windows.net\/wp929\/uploads\/2018\/12\/62c1acaf85db6-62c1acaf85db7lev16-weinles-on-the-eve-of-yom-kippur.jpg.jpg","1536x1536-width":599,"1536x1536-height":445,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/cetwpuploads.blob.core.windows.net\/wp929\/uploads\/2018\/12\/62c1acaf85db6-62c1acaf85db7lev16-weinles-on-the-eve-of-yom-kippur.jpg.jpg","2048x2048-width":599,"2048x2048-height":445,"post_full_size":"https:\/\/cetwpuploads.blob.core.windows.net\/wp929\/uploads\/2018\/12\/62c1acaf85db6-62c1acaf85db7lev16-weinles-on-the-eve-of-yom-kippur.jpg.jpg","post_full_size-width":599,"post_full_size-height":445,"home_baner":"https:\/\/cetwpuploads.blob.core.windows.net\/wp929\/uploads\/2018\/12\/62c1acaf85db6-62c1acaf85db7lev16-weinles-on-the-eve-of-yom-kippur.jpg-565x420.jpg","home_baner-width":565,"home_baner-height":420}},"embedded_video":"","video_duration":"","show_fb_comments":true,"credit_media":""},"tile":{"top_caption":"","main_caption":"Facing God Alone -
