To everyone who has Jewish friends: do NOT wish for them a pleasant holiday for
Yom Kippur because Lev 16:29-31, Lev 16:31, Lev 23:27, and Lev 23:32 doesn't
allow them to be cheerful and/or feel good about themselves on that day. It's
actually a day to despise one's self, i.e. regard one's self as loathsome and
despicable, viz: a day to afflict oneself; which Webster's defines as causing distress
so severely as to cause persistent suffering and/or anguish.
It is both illegal and curse-worthy for Jews to be joyous at any time on the day of
Yom Kippur.
• Lev 23:29 . . For whatsoever soul it be that shall not be afflicted in that same
day, he shall be cut off from among his people
• Deut 27:26 . . Cursed is the man who does not uphold the words of this law by
carrying them out.
NOTE: Yom Kippur is an unusual holy day. It's primary purpose is not only to
remind the people that they are unsavory in God's sight, but also to remind them
that their sins are still on the books, pending justice; and hanging over their heads
like a sword of Damocles.
