intro: The Day of atonement
Experience the Renewal of a God Who Covers Us
Fasting, collective participation, reflection, repentance, prayer, worship...Yom Kippur, the appointed time known as The Day of Atonement, is the holiest day on the Jewish calendar. Yom Kippur is God’s appointment with His people that not only reminded them of their need for a substitutionary sacrifice, but also communicates His deep love for us, foreshadows His redemptive rescue plan, and ultimately points toward our eternal High Priest, Jesus (Yeshua).
The Day of Atonement is the second of the two High Holy Days (the first being Rosh Hashanah), and it invites us (now that we are awake) to collectively reflect, turn back to Him, and embrace complete renewal in Him alone.
Below you will soon find resources, reflections, and recommendations for how to engage Yom Kippur in your life and home. Always feel free to contact us with any questions-
we are glad you're at the table!
