Unetaneh Tokef Kedushat Hayom.  Behold the holy power of this day, it is awesome and full of dread.

If you were Jewish, attending Yom Kippur services is the one thing you do not skip out on.  Period.  The point I stopped going to Yom Kippur is about the point that I realized I wasn't really Jewish anymore at all.

That's always been my favorite part of the service, along with Kol Nidre.

Kol Nidre always interested me because it's not a prayer; it's a legal document.  I found its usage interesting on such a religious occasion.

Time to see if there's a video of some idiot passing out trying to do a tekiah gedolah!
