Slujba de Yom Kippur (cea mai mare sarbatoare) a inceput si in acest an cu Kol Nidre – rugaciunea de iertare a tuturor juramintelor si promisiunilor pe care le va face evreul in anul care incepe astazi. Mult success tuturor celor care voteaza politicieni evrei cu frica de Dumnezeu, fac afaceri cu ei sau doar isi iau nevasta evreica :)!
Iata ce zice cantorul de 3 ori in noaptea de Yom Kippur:
"All vows, obligations, oaths or anathemas, pledges of all names, which we have vowed, sworn, devoted, or bound ourselves to, from this day of atonement, until the next day of atonement (whose arrival we hope for in happiness) we repent, aforehand, of them all, they shall all be deemed absolved, forgiven, annulled, void and made of no effect; they shall not be binding, nor have any power; the vows shall not be reckoned as vows, the obligations shall not be obligatory, nor the oaths considered as oaths."
(* Unii spun ca ar fi vorba doar de juramintele pe care si le va face evreul siesi, dar nu trebuie crezuti pentru ca
Kol Nidre inseamna “legamintele toate/all vows (in eng.)” si nu “legamintele personale toate/all personal vows”.)
