But on the tenth day of this seventh month it is the day of atonement; it shall be a holy convocation unto you, and you shall afflict your souls, and you shall bring a fire-offering to the Lord. And you shall do no work on this very day for it is a day of atonement to atone for you before the Lord your God. (Leviticus 23:27-28)

May all the people of Israel be forgiven, including all the strangers who live in their midst, for all the people are in fault.

G’mar chatima tova!

Truly a teaching of Latvijas Tauta
Fire-offering since 1947 is known as holocaust.

For Latvians, the beginning of fall is the time to celebrate the bringing in of the harvest, and thanking Jumis, the God of the fields, for His generosity!
