מוֹעֲדֵי ה' – יוֹם כִּפּוּר
א. יוֹם כִּפּוּר הוּא כְּלָלִיּוּת כָּל הַיָּמִים, וְהוּא מְחַיֶּה כָּל הַיָּמִים, וְהוּא מַכְנִיעַ הַלֵּב לְדַבֵּק כָּל הָרְצוֹנוֹת לְהַשֵּׁם יִתְבָּרַךְ לְבַד. וְעַל יְדֵי זֶה נִתְבַּטֵּל כָּל מִינֵי מַחְלֹקֶת בְּגַשְׁמִיּוּת וְרוּחָנִיּוּת וְנַעֲשָׂה שָׁלוֹם, וְעַל־יְדֵי זֶה נִמְשָׁךְ שָׂשׂוֹן וְשִׂמְחָה: (לק"א סי' קע"ט)
