The 10 Martyrs: What do we really need to atone for?
Much of Yom Kippur is focused on our relationships with God and how it needs fixing and improvement. Join Rabbanit Shira Mirvis as she explores the Yom Kippur Mussaf piyut of Eyleh Ezkera and how it relates to the relationships between people (bein adam l’chaveiro) aspect of Yom Kippur. In many ways, renewing our connections to God is a lot easier than what it often takes to repair feelings between people.
