Book of Life
In Torah Study we talked about that “Book of Life” we speak of at Yom Kippur.
We reviewed thoughts on the concept through history. Beginning with a reference in Exodus 32 and in Psalm 139 to mentions Pirke Avot (200CE) and through history to the more contemporary view of Rabbi Deborah Lipstadt.
Conclusion: The once a year review is really not enough. We are really obliged to review our actions throughout the year. Remember that there are consequences to our actions that may be far-reaching.
‘Plant nothing but the seeds of goodness into the soil of the future...’ - the message of Samson Raphael Hirsch (19th century Germany)
