The new year and the day of atonement lead into each other in an interesting way to Dennis Prager: the first is when Ecclesiastes is read, in which most of life does not makes sense. But the judgement of God makes sense of life, after all. That holiday is followed by yom kippur and atonement must be made for and/or by violators; some of these punishments are capital. The two practically say the same thing, and are a deep sense of happiness about life that most people don't get to enjoy, he said last week on his 'happiness hour.'
Of course, he only sees this outside of Christ; it refers to acts which humans must do in this world to keep life stable and fair. He would not accept that there is a way these are true through Christ--through a substitute's punishment.
That may sound familiar to some of you who have followed what Judaism usually says about its scripture.
