Mimini Mikhael: Essays on Yom Kippur and Teshuvah

by Michael Rosensweig

In Mimini Mikhael, Rabbi Dr. Michael Rosensweig offers a rigorous and insightful treatment of the core concepts and fundamental principles of Yom Kippur, teshuvah, Elul, and the Aseret Yemei Teshuvah. Drawing upon a vast range of sources, the chapters contain a comprehensive analysis of the essential halakhic issues and themes that stand at the center of this time period. They highlight the inimitable kedushat ha-yom of Yom Kippur, demonstrate how this heightened sanctity is concretized in specific norms and modes of observance, underscore the pivotal institution of teshuvah, and illuminate the opportunity afforded by Elul and the Aseret Yemei Teshuvah in cultivating a halakhically meaningful life inspired by the experience of "lifnei Hashem."
