"What joy to celebrate the Atonement with this people who embrace Atonement. What joy to celebrate the repentance of our sins from A to Z. That's a gift that Jews and Christians in unity can give our society, the good news of repentance, and just why that is good news," wrote Pastor Daniel Meeter on his blog Old First. Indeed, it was a Yom Kippur to remember in Park Slope when the ceiling...
Here's today's Social Media Insider, originally published in MediaPost It's time to atone. Some may appreciate the timing, as it coincides with yesterday's observance of Yom Kippur, Judaism's Day of Atonement, the climax of a period of repentance.

I followed my own advice and dined at Java Green, but aside from the friends I broke bread with,...
By Alan Caruba On Monday, September 28, Jews around the world will celebrate Yom Kippur, fasting and seeking to begin the new lunar year with a clean slate.

Ralph Waldo Emerson said poetically, "A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds, adored by little statesmen and philosophers and divines."
