Chabad.org says, “It’s all up to you now!”
It’s all up to you now.
Everything about the awesome day of Yom Kippur points to you.
In times of old, one High Priest, serving one G‑d, on behalf of His one people, in His one Temple, on His one holiest day, sought G‑d’s atonement for the entire world.
Today, one person, with one turn of his or her personal page, doing one good deed, or even making one good resolution — can change the course of the entire world for the good!
This means:
YOU hold the key to the world’s future!
Your good deed, your repentance, your cry from the depths of your soul, can penetrate the Gates of Heaven and call forth a loving response from our One and Only Father in Heaven.
Jewish wisdom teaches us that a crucial component of our service to G‑d — even more so nowadays than in times of old! — is to give generously of our earnings to charity, especially during this time of year.
You work hard to earn a living. And you pour your time, your energy — your very soul! — into that work.
When you contribute those very earnings to charity, you are sharing your own toil; you are giving away a part of your very own soul and self, to others!
You are also…
- demonstrating your appreciation that G‑d entrusted you to act on His behalf to distribute His resources; and
- modeling how the Heavenly Court should treat you!
In preparation for Yom Kippur, when we pray that G‑d blesses us with all things good, let us demonstrate our faith and connection by giving freely and generously to charity. G-d is relying on each one of us, individually!
Certainly He will reciprocate in kind.
After all, He entrusted the entire world to each of us.
In this spirit, it would be extremely meaningful to people all over the world if you could take two minutes now to donate generously to Chabad.org‘s vital work:
