Twerski on Machzor, Yom Kippur

In Twerski on Machzor, bestselling and beloved author Rabbi Abraham Twerski, M.D., helps us make Yom Kippur and, particularly, the many hours spent in prayer on this awesome day, more meaningful and transformative. With his trademark blend of psychological insights, Torah perspectives, and uplifting stories, Rabbi Twerski encourages us to make the most of the opportunity afforded by Erev Yom Kippur and, of course, the prayers of Yom Kippur itself.

From the hushed moments before the chazzan chants Kol Nidrei to the final shofar blast, Yom Kippur gives us a chance to begin anew, to improve ourselves, to look within, and to connect with our Creator. Twerski on Machzor will help us utilize every moment of this most sacred of days. Learn More
