Lawrence A. Hoffman

4.9/5 (16081 ratings)

Description:A varied and fascinating look at sin, confession and pardon in Judaism. Few liturgical acts strike modern worshipers as more problematic than the public act of confession. Does anyone even believe in sin any more, let alone reward and punishment? At least, we think, the sins we confess should be our own, not a manufactured list of misdeeds arranged (of all things) according to the letters of the Hebrew alphabet rather than according to the likelihood of our actually having committed them.Yet confession in Judaism on the most sacred day of the Jewish year is precisely that. Not just one, in fact, but two public confessions Ashamnu and Al Chet are liturgical staples by now for anyone attending Yom Kippur services. These confessions are recited no fewer than ten times in the course of twenty-four hours at prayer. No one can miss them, and no one can avoid wondering about them.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
