So what is this Yom Kippur(Day of Atonement)? 2018 (and really 5999)?
Can we not just ask for forgiveness and that should be enough?
Why are we required; All of the Children of Jacob, to afflict our souls on the Day of Atonement?
There seems to be misunderstandings regarding the day and its purpose.

The Day to Answer for Your Soul? Day of Atonement? 5998 Tanakh Year
