Of the 87 folio pages of Tractate Yoma, only the last 14 deal with the Yom Kippur we know today. Most of it concerns the many sacrifices for Yom Kippur in the Temple, which Rabbi Cartun will considerately not gorily go through.

Besides reviewing the basics of what Jews have decided to refrain from on that day, do you know: *how G0d is like a mikveh (ritual bath)? *the difference between an actual "day of fasting" and Yom Kippur, *why the feast we eat before YK begins is considered to be "fasting" *how to train kids to fast, *what to do if a building falls down on your way to YK services (this "daily page" was the reading when the Florida condo collapsed!), *why YK is like death, *why not to ask forgiveness from someone more than 3 times, *why a scapeGOAT is not the "Greatest of all Time", *Why is there a Ne'ilah service on YK, and what does it mean? And more!

No familiarity with Talmud or Hebrew is required, and all your questions are welcome!
