Yom Kippur

A very Happy Yom Kippur to all my Jewish buddies here on TECHIMO.

Those that don't know the day, I quote:

Yom Kippur, literally "Day of Atonement," is the holiest day of the Jewish year. This year Yom Kippur starts on Sunday night, September 15, and ends on Monday night, September 16, 2002.

Yom Kippur is a day of "self-denial" (Lev. 23-27) so that we may be cleansed of our sins. It is observed eight days after Rosh Hashanah. It is believed that on Rosh HaShana God inscribes all of our names in the "books", and on Yom Kippur the judgment entered in these books is sealed. The days between Rosh HaShana and Yom Kippur are called the Days of Awe. Yom Kippur is, essentially, our last chance to demonstrate repentance and change the judgment.

So, once again, please join me is wishing all our Jewish friends the very best of this Great Holy Day.

hard to say "happy" to those who are Atoning...

But , truth be told, maybe we should all take it up.
