Friends, tonight's year, the last year before Yum Kipper is not for the faint-hearted. We're getting into hardcore what actually transpires on yum kipper and during the time of din and the process of chuva a gumar in yuma in it's a frightening gumar says the garrabar in Rome I did you hear did you hear did you hear about the four levels of atonement that Rabishal expounded on this is what asked you heard about it you heard the of the four levels of kapara he said no there only three chuva with each one there only three chuva with each one Okay. So now let's let's start off the share by by saying what most people think. Most people think is coming rashana is coming yum kipper. And all you need to do is it's like a three-step process. First you take a um bread and you throw it into the lake. That gets rid of about a third of your sins. Next step is next step is you take a chicken and you fling it around your head. that then you're you're basically 90% clear then you're you're basically 90% clear and then whatever you still have left the yizgar appeal will clean you completely. You know that's the three-step process. Tashlik caporus and the yizgar appeal. However, we're going to learn none of those things do anything regarding your sins. Those things do not affect your sin. The only now so other people think I know that that's why the real thing is the harder you hit your chest and the more times if you clap yourself like 500
