Everyone of us faces the same dilemmas on a constant weekly basis. Whether we're in the kitchen of our home, Shul, Chabad House or summer camp:

May I add water on Shabbos to the food on the blech which is drying?
May I move food from one pot on the blech to another?
The fire went out under my blech. May I move the pot to another blech?
I mistakenly placed my pot on the table. May I replace it back to the blech?

NASHVILLE, TN — Today is the day of Yom Kippur. It is the holiest day of the year on the Jewish calendar — the day on which we are closest to G-d and to the quintessence of our own souls. It is the Day of Atonement.

Systems exist all around us. The way we live; the way we do business. Each element of our lives from the mundane to the sublime — they always come down to some sort of system. We may not think of most of what takes place in our world as a “system” at work, but everything in our universe can be traced to the functions of one system or another.

Israelís Ramla Prison, where Rabbi Fishel Jacobs spent a Yom Kippur conducting services for the inmates.

RAMLEH, Israel — The following is an excerpt from Israel Behind Bars, a memoir of Rabbi Fishel Jacobs' experiences as a chaplain in the Israel Prison Service. This tale of spending Yom Kippur with convicted Israeli criminals echoes similar stories shared by Chabad-Lubavitch rabbis and rabbinical students who cater to Jewish prisoners not only in Israel, but in the United States as well. This year, for instance, the Chabad of Houston will host the first ever Yom Kippur services at a penitentiary in Houston, Texas.
