This series considers a few distinct directions in which Avodat Yom ha-Kippurim is re-lived today, through rituals and liturgies:
1. Rituals relating to atonement, specifically Kapparot and Tashlikh.
2. Amitz Koach and other Piyyutim about the Temple service itself.
3. Pleas for atonement that correlate with aspects of the Yom Kippur Temple service, including Selichot and Vidduy.
