Yom Kippur and Purim



Hi,

The Zohar equates Purim and Yom Kippur (which is called "Yom haKippurim" in the Torah).

The Piaseczner Rebbe, writing in the Warsaw Ghetto, explained: Just as one is obligated to repent and fast on Yom Kippur, so one is obligated to be joyous on Purim!

Have a great day,
Mordechai
