Question
Hello Rabbi, My son was asked in yeshiva how many commandments there are on Yom Kippur? Honestly, I know part of it, but I'm uncomfortable giving him partial answers, and I don't want either of us to be embarrassed in yeshiva. I would appreciate a quick response.
Answer
Hello,
The commandments from the Torah include 'and you shall afflict your souls', meaning to fast. This includes five afflictions: eating, drinking, anointing, wearing sandals, and marital relations.
To confess sins and repent.
Additionally, there is the law of 'Shabbat Shabbaton', which includes the prohibition of work.
And 'Mara Kodesh', which is the obligation of honor, as on Shabbat.
