Why not leather? [YomKippur]
Today at 17:47 at San Paulo, Brazil will start Yom Kippur, knowned in inglish like the Day of Atonement.
In these days jewish can’t use leather shoes. Why?
One of the explanations is because, there are the mineral proteins, up there are the vegetal and then the animal. It’s like saying: the water feeds the vegetable (mineral and vegetal), that is eaten by the animal - cow.
When you use leather shoes (can’t just use shoes) it’s like saying that humans are superior these other proteins, although Yom Kippur there is not something like that. It’s a day to redeem oneself.
Good shoes to use at this date are Crocs.

Prezada Nitz,
“São dias como este que transformam cordeiros em Leões.” Winston Churchill - No dia de Yom Kipur temos mais uma vez a chance de renovar nossa fé em nós mesmos em relação a D’us, pois confiamos que Ele nos dará o Seu perdão com base em nosso arrependimento. Cada um sabe o que tem pela frente. Cada um de nós tem uma linha direta com Ele e sabemos que ninguém pode usar os nossos sapatos e percorrer nosso caminho, pois cada um tem o seu.
Mas com Crocs, com certeza pisaremos mais leves. =)
Obrigado pela explicação.
Ps: Queremos saber mais sobre fibras e vetimentas judaicas.
Grato
