Quote from Rabbi Rami Shapiro

Yom Kippur This Week 
  
Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement (At-One-ment, October 7^th at sundown) is the culmination of all this effort [of asking forgiveness from family and friends, and of honoring all creation as a manifestation of God]. We have made peace with our neighbor, peace with nature, and now it is time to make peace with God.  

For me, making peace with God is about remembering that God isn’t about salvation or damnation, reward or punishment. God is about reality, for God is reality. I make peace with God by realizing that life is wild, unpredictable, often horrifying, and yet always hopeful. I remind myself to not expect things to be other than they are, and to be thankful for all that they are. With this act of radical acceptance comes radical forgiveness, and, for me, this is what Yom Kippur is all about.  - Rabbi Rami Shapiro “Beyond Religion”, Jewish Fall holy Days, Tuesday, September 20 (blog address http://rabbirami.blogspot.com/)
