What can we learn from the ideal and actual behavior of the High Priest on Yom Kippur as described in early Rabbinic texts? We still celebrate the intense moment of the High Priest entering the Holy of Holies in the Temple and uttering the unpronounceable name in the Yom Kippur Musaf, even though there have been over 2,000 years of Jews observing Yom Kippur without a Temple or High Priest. What have we gained or lost in not having this “technology” available to us?
