Two years ago TRADITION produced a special volume timed with the 50th anniversary of the Yom Kippur War. At the time it seemed like nearly ancient history. Little did we know that past was merely prologue, and that shortly after the issue was released we were once again thrown into a traumatic war, similarly launched by sneak attack on an Autumn Yom Tov. Now, after nearly two years of war and ongoing anxiety for our soldiers and those held in captivity, in the hope that our readers will find it meaningful at this troubling, tragic time in Israel, TRADITION has made the content of our entire “Yom Kippur War After 50 Years” symposium issue (Summer 2023) open access as a digital book.

The goral (casting of lots) takes a central role on Yom Kippur – from the method the high priest used to select which goat should be sent to the desert, to the sailors’ use of goral to determine that Jonah was the cause of the storm. Some think goral reveals a divine truth, but David Curwin presents another perspective in which the goral is actually a random roll of the dice which allows us to achieve our spiritual goals for the holiest of days.

As we prepare this week for Yom Kippur we will bring our readers a new daily offering from the TRADITION Archive offering insight and teaching for the High Holy Day. 52 years ago the Jewish world found itself in a situation not terribly dissimilar from our own. War arrived brutally and by surprise on an Autumn Yom Tov. Writing in the pages of TRADITION a half-century ago, Rabbi A.H. Rabinowitz, Chief Rabbi of the Air Force, asked “Why Yom Kippur?”—aside from Egyptian tactical strategy and hope for surprise, what was the spiritual meaning of the State being attacked on our holy day?
