Yom Kippur

"Jews Praying in the Synagogue on Yom Kippur"
Artist: Maurycy Gottlieb

Here is a traditional recitation for the day:
I hereby forgive all who have hurt me, all who have done me wrong, whether deliberately or by accident, whether by word or by deed. May no one be punished on my account. As I forgive and pardon fully those who have done me wrong, may those whom I have harmed forgive and pardon me, whether I acted deliberately or by accident, whether by word or deed. I am now ready to fulfill the commandment of "to love my neighbor as myself."
