Kol Nidre is the holiest night of the year, when even the cynics and schmoozers let down their defenses. This service marks the beginning of Yom Kippur, a time of deep introspection, an annual accounting of the soul. Although it’s perceived to be a difficult, solemn day, Yom Kippur is by far my favorite day of the year, the most sacred and most joyous, because in our honest and earnest self-reflection, we encounter truths that open us up to endless possibility. This day helps us see who we are and imagine who we could become.
