This evening at sunset Yom Kippur begins
The Day of Atonement to wipe clean our sins
We consume no water, and also no booze
We wear no leather on the soles of our shoes
Twenty-six hours without any rations
No shaving or hot baths or sexy relations
And the point of all of this lengthy affliction
Is to focus the mind for the day’s benediction
May the day bring clear conscience and a happy decree
May we enter our new year with hearts that sing free
