  1. I noticed the title "Solitude" after I thought "Despair".

    1. A lot of Yom Kippur paintings show people looking sad, but it is really a holiday about redemption and forgiveness. Still, it is a day for quiet retrospection.

  2. Important not to confuse atonement with penance or revenge with justice.
