Happy Yom Kippur!

Happy Yom Kippur!

September 24, 2023 Off By Donna Wuerch

My best wishes to the Jewish community today, especially to my dear friend, Susan Finkelman, as Yom Kippur (also known as “The Day of Atonement”) is celebrated. This is the most solemn and important of the Jewish holy days when we’re reminded of humanity’s timeless struggle for peace and justice in a world in need of redemption. May we never lose hope in the ultimate goodness of God, and may we always seek His unearned mercy and grace. It is amazing that He miraculously and freely gives to those who ask and accept.

My friendship with Susan gives me a renewed passion to “pray for the peace of Jerusalem” and the Jewish people (Psalm 122:6). And I am more convinced than ever that our nation must have a moral and spiritual awakening.

We would be wise to join the Jewish people today in contemplation and repentance, for their sake and for ours as well.
