Why does the Torah refer to the month of Tishrei as ??? ?????? ???? Is there another ??? ???????
A few p’sukim earlier, the Torah says ???? ?????? ???? ????, ???? ??? ?????–????? ?????, ????-???. So it isn’t that Tishei is always refrered to as ??? ?????? ???, why by Yom Kippor?
R’ Ahron Kotler says that the Torah here is speaking to basic human tendencies. There is a tendency to procrastinate. Why should I do something today which doesn not need to be done until next week?
Yom Kippor is extremely important. One needs to use Rosh HaShana and the Aseres Yemei Teshuva in order to utalize Yom Kippor correctly. Therefore, just after the passuk tells us about Rosh Hashana, the torah continues ??? ?????? ???, IN THIS SAME MONTH A FEW DAYS LATER, in an effort to prevent us from thinking that “we have time” until Yom Kippor comes.
