Rabbi Michael G. Holzman offers a Yom Kippur meditation on how the Trump administration's decision to lie about and obliterate American history militates against the most fundamental meaning of Yom Kippur — the call to remember, acknowledge, and repent of our wrongdoings.
He states,
"We are living in a theological crisis."

"The MAGA movement seeks to promulgate a triumphalist theology that attempts to determine the truth of America’s past and says that repentance is impossible because doing so would be 'corrosive' or 'disparaging.' This theology is built on the fundamentalist, extreme myth that it has the absolute truth of who we are as a Christian nation, and thus the only acceptable response is obedience."
