After Yom Kippur Thoughts

I have been behind on posting. The last few weeks have been really insane and I will post about them a bit later.

It's just a few hours after Yom Kippur now. This was probably the most exciting Yom Kippur of my life for 2 reasons.

1) I saw a gemora in Kerisus 7a that says that you get forgiven on Yom Kippur regardless if you do Teshuva or not. So all that fear of not doing good enough teshuva on Yom Kippur that was put into me in Yeshiva turned out to be a big lie, as usual.

2) I turned on the TV (more on that later) about 2 hours after Yom Tov was over (which happened at 6 pm) and all Israeli channels were off and a posting said something like this: "Gemar Ksiva veChasima Tova. The programming will resume after Yom Kippur at 8:30 pm." It really made my day. I really hope that one day such a posting will appear on every Shabbos and all other Yamim Tovim. We are getting there, slow, but steady.
