This really hit home
I had to come to terms with a terrible mistake I made this year. Various things, especially the blemishless character of the one I ended up hurting, brought about a crisis of conscience. This video became the tipping point. I managed to drop my bags...just. But I'm not sure I would have without seeing this. Thank you so much.

Excellent!
What a wonderful interpretation of KOL NIDRE. So real, and so applicable, especially for those of us who have so much experience 'getting' or 'missing' the train. This is a message that we can listen to very day. The video is dynamic, full of life and one can sense the enthusiasm and sincerity of the speaker. THANK YOU. This is one email that i am SAVING!

Wow! Thank you so much! This is AMAZING. I was so scared of yom kippur that I completely blocked it out of my mind. I've got so much bad baggage from this year and I just felt that god hates me for what i did and he's not interested in hearing from me. But i will drop my bags and jump onto the train. Thank you Thank you Thank you!

YK is no guilt-trip
That sounds reassuring that Yom Kippur is no guilt trip - it is more about moving forward than dwelling on the past, especially with such materialism and other minutia. This is why Hashem loves us and that He gives us an opportunity to let go of the material and emotional baggage we have been carrying for so long. Thus, why live in self-pity and dwell on the past when one can move forward constructively? It just can be a challenge not to let go, because we think we have not yet fixed all our past problems, however YK certainly gives us a day or opportunity to move on...As for the vows, that can still be important so as long as it stipulates the Torah, especially when it comes to Jews marrying Jewish. All in all, we express constructive regret and move on from our material and emotional baggage.

Spot on
wow... very inspiring film. got me motivated to put down the computer and learn Torah... a small but important note to the people who made the video... I don't think you should have included the sound clip of trumpet at the end ... silence would have been much more appropriate for this situation, leaving the viewer in contemplation. It totally changed the mood at the end. besides that it was very good

(38) Mike Levy, September 24, 2009 5:40 PM
Totally motivating!
There are a lot of Jews out there who say, it's not for me.....and when I invite them to go to shul with me, they're not interested. The question is, how do we get to these apathetic Jews in order to get them back on the rails? Even if it is with just a little baggage. Maybe they need to take a little baggage with them in the initial stages which may make it seem easier to jump on the train and remain there. They will then see that the baggage is no longer needed.

AWESOME
I was watching this video when my 6 year old son(who by the way LOVES trains) sat down to watch with me. He was hooked! and so was I !! After I asked him what do you think the message was here. He said"Don't make mountains out of molehills." and "If you move to slow you wont catch the train." I explained what the bags represented to us. We have now watched it 3 times!!! Something I thought was just going to be a great video for me ended up being a beautiful change to share GOD's love with my son!!! Thank you!!!!

This is hit the spot.
This is such an amazing video. It came at the right time for me and my family. We have been having issues with the I IDon't Want to Look Like That idea. Clothing has been an issue and we've been afraid to look like someone else. But it is time to drop our bags and get on the train and work from the outside in. Thanks for the inspiration

Great Metaphor!
This video was so helpful to me in terms of actually getting excited for YK. I've been observant almost 18 years and this is the first time I have heard anyone explain KN and its pre-eminance. I really connected with the message -- and the metaphor. Everyone should get their friends to see this. Thank you so much!
