Izithombe zendabuko zika-Yom Kippur azicashile. Ngo-Yom Kippur, embethe ezimhlophe, AmaJuda awadli, kusukela ekugqokeni isikhumba, kusukela ekuhlanganyeleni emisebenzini evamile yomzimba ngokuhlonipha kanye nokuhlonipha isidingo sokugxila ngaphakathi, ukuhlola impilo yomuntu. Nokho ngamandla, Izimfuno zika-Yom Kippur zidlulela ngale kwamahora eholide uqobo. Ngenkathi isiko le-Yom Kippur lakha indawo yokuthi umuntu alungise ubudlelwano bakhe nobuNkulunkulu, ngaphambi kokuthi siqale lolu hambo, umJuda kumelwe aqale enze umsebenzi oyinselele nakakhulu, ukucela intethelelo komunye nomunye.
Kunoveli ye-PJ Library, Izwi Elinzima Kakhulu, iZiz, i-protagonist yenganekwane yencwadi ithunyelwa emkhankasweni wokukhomba igama elinzima kakhulu. Njengoba iZiz ihamba emhlabeni wonke ikhomba amagama amaningi anzima ahlanganisa “i-spaghetti," "ulale kahle,” kanye “neRumplestilskin.” Nakuba igama ngalinye linenselele, awekho aziwa njengegama elinzima kunawo wonke. Ekugcineni, futhi mhlawumbe ngokungamangazi kubabukeli abadala, i-Ziz ithola ukuthi igama elinzima kakhulu elithi "uxolo."
Why kunzima kakhulu ukuxolela?
Ukuxolisa kudinga isibindi. Ukuxolisa kuphoqa umuntu ukuthi avuleleke ekubeni sengozini, ukuvuma ukungapheleli. Ukuxolisa kudinga isikhathi. Ukuxolisa akukwazi ukushesha, isidingo sokutshala isikhathi kanye nokuzimisela ukuba nezingxoxo ezinzima. Ukuxolisa kudinga ukukhululeka. Ukuxolisa kudinga ukunyakaza okudlula ukuzwela komuntu siqu kanye nokuvula inhliziyo ebuhlungwini bomunye. Ukuxolisa kudinga umthwalo wemfanelo. Ukuxolisa kugcizelela ukuvuma umthelela wezenzo zethu, ukuqonda ukuxhumana kwempilo.
Umhlaba wethu awukameli ingqikithi yobuhle obungase ube nawo. Sonile ngobulukhuni benhliziyo. Sonile ngenkulumo. Sonile ngenkohliso. Amaphutha ethu onyaka odlule engeza ukungapheleli kanye nokonakala komhlaba. I-Yom Kippur inikeza insali yethemba. Njengoba uRabi Nachman waseBreslov afundisa, “Uma ukholwa ukuthi ukugqekeza kungenzeka, ngakho-ke kholwa ukuthi ukulungiswa kungenzeka." Asiluqale lonyaka uhambo lokuxolelana. Masizivulele ikhono lethu lokungagcini nje ngokuphuka kodwa nokulungisa. Masiqhubekele phambili ngesibindi ukuze sikhulume amagama anzima kakhulu, uxolo.
