When, on the Day of Atonement, you walk into a synagogue, you stand up for the very first prayer that you recite. It is the only prayer for which you stand. You repeat three times a short prayer called the Kol Nidre. In that prayer, you enter into an agreement with God Almighty that any oath, vow, or pledge that you may make during the next twelve months shall be null and void.
The oath shall not be an oath; the vow shall not be a vow; the pledge shall not be a pledge. They shall have no force or effect. And further, the Talmud teaches that whenever you take an oath, vow, or pledge, you are to remember the Kol Nidre prayer that you recited on the Day of Atonement, and you are exempted from fulfilling them.
Why Jews talk about Yom Kippur is beyond me. Not when you have your Kol Nidre prayer which absolves all of your sins - past, present and FUTURE! So for all intents and purposes, you do what you want - wicked or otherwise believing yourselves to be absolved from any form or responsibility. A pretty backward and nefarious mentality!
What Rachael didn't say, perhaps because of political correctness: Kol Nidrei prayer as a plea for forgiveness for betraying Judaism and God by victims of the Inquisition. Jews were forced to convert or pretended to be Catholics. The prayer asks for forgiveness for the sins they were about to commit as a result of the evils being enacted on orders of the pope. Kol Nidrei. Christians should be mindful of their savage history and that the word "Jesus" is synonymous with terror for Jews.
@Chesed1 how do jewish people see witches?and can i as a witch come to the temp[le just because i want to see what it is?i like to go one time and asked them in a mail but they did not respond.maybe you can?
@witchcerridwen Anyone can go to a synagogue, even a Wiccan, but remember you are in a Jewish house of worship and nobody is interested in your religion. Wearing a cross or pagan symbol would be disrespectful but nobody will assault you for it. They may ask you, politely, to remove them. There is the Jewish golden rule: don't do to others what is abhorrent to you. You wouldn't want someone walking into a coven waving a Star of David or some evangelical hollering about bringing the good news.
That is interesting; thank you for a wonderful explanation ... 5***** from me.
May I mention: It was a Jew, who suggested also, 2,000 years ago, that we 'ask forgiveness for the wrongs we do as we forgive those who have wronged us' in our prayer to God.
I was right. You are in denial. Even the past Pope recognized the part of the church and his predecessors in the murder of millions of Jews. After centuries of denial, the church has in a limited way admitted its sins. And guess who it was who incited the Christians to do such evil? Right, it was Jesus himself!
Match alleged rudeness against Christianity's record in oppressing and murdering non-Christians, and you get a sorry mess. If only you could admit the failures of your religion, and beg for forgiveness!

Excelent explanation. However how to avoid the misunderstanding (since the middles ages and before!) that jews see themselves in a position where they can lie - consciously or not - knowing that they will have a day to get forgiveness...this is something even nowadays is used against jews....

He HAD been a Jew, but his sins were so great tht he ceased being one.

Then, I ask of our one Father that my sins should be a fraction as great as Yeshua's (Jesus Christ)

It would be hard for you to sin as much as Jebus. But if you work at it, maybe you wiill succeed.. Start with 2000 years of anti-Semitism.

@birmington
I have the uneasy feeling that whatever Christ said, you would call him an anti-semitist .
It is clear that you are anti-Jesus. However let me remind you of one thing he did say ... and I am paraphrasing:
"I have not come to change the scriptures, but to fulfill them"

@2gointruth
Are you denying 2000 yeras of church-instigated anti-Semitism? If you, you are totally delusional.

It's a very funny way to FULFILL scriptures by abrogating them. Do you pay attention to what you are writing?
