Yom Kippur

Wow. You'll have to excuse that this post will most likely be only semi-intelligible.

We ended our tefillos (prayers) around 4 hours ago for Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement. A day totally devoted to cleansing ourselves and getting as close to the Almighty as possible. A day spent in the synagogue immersed in heartfelt prayer. At the very end of the day, at the Neilah service (the last service), at the very end, I looked over at my friend Sharon, who was davening (praying) next to me, and she had this wide grin on her face. And so did I! I guess it was the feeling of being squeaky clean, no more ugly sin stains!

Let's stay this way!!

Only a few days until Succos!
