Sense Sonnet - Pumper

 Yom Kippur

The first Yom Kippur, the date when

Moses returned from Mount Sinai,

And said for the golden calf sin

God's forgiveness would now apply.

Thus the Torah did fix this date

As a permanent holiday

For God's forgiveness to await

People who sought in prayerful way.

Human sinning God understood

Would continue, but God would show

Continued mercy for who would

Seek, and forgiveness would be so.

Yom Kippur is a time to fast,

Seek God's forgiveness for sins past.
