Dave Rubin: The Jewish Day of Atonement
Dave Rubin is a well-known Conservative political commentator. He also is Jewish. And the fact that he publicly shared so much about Yom Kipper, the Jewish Day of Atonement, is pretty unique. He gave a very positive view about the holiest day of the year on the Jewish calendar. But Rubin really shared a beautiful perspective about the holiday and connected it to what the whole world can learn.
He spoke about failures and responsibility. He spoke about having the courage to admit mistakes and to work to do better—not to blame others. Aside from the fact that the world can learn a lot from Yom Kipper on how they themselves should act, they should also be able to see how beautiful the Jewish people are. Instead of hating on G-d’s people, they should realize how the Jewish nation is morally good and unique. They should realize how G-d made the day of Yom Kipper for us to atone and do better for the following year.
And it’s not only about the relationship between G-d and man. It’s about improving relationships between people. There are laws in Judaism about giving to others and not speaking badly about others. If the Jewish people were evil, we wouldn’t have laws about kindness. So open your eyes. See the truth. Internalize it. Learn from it. And share it with others.
