● Lev 16:29 . . And this shall be a statute for ever unto you: that in the seventh month, on the tenth day of the month, you shall afflict your souls
● Lev 16:31 . . You shall afflict your souls, by a statute forever.
● Lev 23:27 . . On the tenth day of this seventh month there shall be a day of atonement: it shall be an holy convocation unto you; and you shall afflict your souls
● Lev 23:29 . . For whatsoever soul it be that shall not be afflicted in that same day, he shall be cut off from among his people
● Deut 27:26 . . Cursed is the man who does not uphold the words of this law by carrying them out.
Note the grammatical tense of the curse. It's present rather than future indicating that the curse is immediate-- no delay and no waiting period.
I tend to believe that curses are accumulative. In other words: every year that Jews fail to afflict their souls on Yom Kippur, they add another curse to the indictment against them.

Whatever floats your boat. If someone can't be joyous about the work Jesus has done, that's between them and God.
I afflicted myself some that day, but the day ended in celebration.
To each their own.

I do not think that is the point.
Yom Kipper is not about Jesus, It was never aboutu him, It was about the day of atonement and was a very scary day. No one should be happy on that day,
It was given to keep people in check until Jesus came, So he could turn the fear and sadness to joy and salvation. (when he did what Yom Kipper could not do.
It was the tutor, or teacher,, which was to lead the people of Israel to Christ. as Paul said, One faith has come, the tutor is no longer needed.
to worship or celebrate Yom Kipper is to say Christ has not come yet.. (Hebrews infers this when it tells us Jesus came, he is the perfect high priest, Yet the high priest still yearly enters the temple to shed blood that can never take away sin)
that is why people question this form of worship so much..
If your honest, You can not blame them.

Not all Jews regard Yom Kippur as a joyous occasion. Conscientious Jews
spend the day off work in prayer, repentance, fasting, and synagogue.
Although the way that conscientious Jews observe Yom Kippur isn't the
covenanted way, it's pretty much the best they can do without a Temple and
a fully functioning priesthood on duty in Jerusalem.

● Lev 16:30 . . For on that day shall the priest make an atonement for you,
to cleanse you; that you may be clean from all your sins before the LORD.
I'm going to deliberately misquote that rule in order to bring out an
important point,
"For on that day shall the priest make an atonement for you, to acquit you,
that you may be absolved from all your sins before the LORD."
No; that particular atonement neither acquits nor absolves. Let me explain.
It's said that a bell can't be un-rung. That's right; bells can be silenced, but
their rings cannot be returned once they leave the bell.
Were someone to fall in a mud puddle, they can wash the mud off, but it is
impossible to undo their fall because that part of their mishap is historical;
they cannot turn back the clock.
What I'm saying is: Lev 16:30 de-contaminates the people, sanitizing
them for worship; but does nothing to undo their history. Ergo: the
people's sins remain on the books; hanging about their necks like the
proverbial albatross. Is it any wonder then why Yom Kippur is a day of
sorrow rather than a day of cheer?
