Impressed
What a beautiful explanation by a man that is so articulate and joyful to listen to - thank you!

Thank you for providing the historical context for the origins of Kol Nidrei. How wonderful that conversos were provided with an avenue for connection to Judaism in spite of their conversions. I am perplexed, however, about how this legalistic formulation pertains to me? I find the melody haunting; its deeply plaintive qualities express a heartfelt yearning that helps me connect with a deep yearning within myself, and for that I am profoundly appreciative and grateful. However, I have never found the words to be meaningful. Would you please convey how the content of Kol Nidrei could be meaningful to someone with no individual or familial history of conversion, for whom Judaism is deeply meaningful?

Heartfelt thanks
It is not only Rabbi Sacks's heartfelt words but also his tone that speaks to me so urgently and warmly. Thank you, Rabbi, for enriching my Ten Days.
