The Service of Acharei Mot

Exegetical Approaches

This topic has not yet undergone editorial review

Atonement for the People

The main focus of the service was to achieve Atonement for all of Israel. Any part of the service that has to do with purification of the Mikdash is just a means to the ends of Atonement

Sources:R. Saadia Gaon, Rambam (Shgagot 11:9)

Purification of the Temple

A Greater Purpose

Both purifications of the Mikdash and Atonement for the people are only a part of a greater whole which is the real reason for the Yom Kippur service.
