National Atonement Offering (Kippur)

Description

If you seek to atone for collective transgressions and seek divine forgiveness, give the national atonement offering.

Reflect on the moments when your community, as a whole, has strayed from righteousness. Consider how your contribution to the national atonement offering can help in seeking forgiveness, fostering unity, and encouraging communal reflection and repentance.

“For on this day atonement shall be made for you to cleanse you. You shall be clean before the Lord from all your sins.” (Leviticus 16:30)

Places of worship and community gatherings are essential for fostering a sense of unity, peace, and spiritual growth. Your contributions ensure the preservation and maintenance of these sacred spaces, enabling them to continue serving as centers of worship, learning, and community support.
