Note 34 — II. OUR DUTIES. (continued 4)
Reading edition
Although the whole of the Day of Atonement is devoted to Divine Service, less time is given to reading from the Law than on Sabbath, in order to leave more time for Prayers, Confessions, and Meditations. Rabbi Akiba, however, was of opinion that seven should be called up to the Law on the Day of Atonement, and six on Sabbath (B. Talm. Megillah 23a). ↑
