Kesher Talk

Avodah. Naomi Chana wrote an excellent and moving essay - inspired by a widespread discomfort and misunderstanding of the Yom Kippur Avodah service by liberal Jews - on the translation from the sacrifice-based Temple service to the rabbinic innovations in liturgy. I have some remarks in the comments. I think this would fit into my Pintele Yid series as another window onto the Jewish worldview, so if you are interested in what makes Jews tick, read the whole thing.
