Days of Awe

Commentary by Richard T. Ritenbaugh

The ten-day period from the Feast of Trumpets to the Day of Atonement, known as the Days of Awe or Yamim Noraim, is also called the days of repentance. For many Jews, these days are a time of serious introspection, a period to reflect on sins committed over the past year and to repent before the Day of Atonement. This time emphasizes the importance and solemnity of the Day of Atonement, regarded as the most solemn day of the year. During the Days of Awe, there is a focus on introspection leading to repentance and seeking reconciliation with those wronged in the past year, highlighting the need to right personal wrongs.
