Chasidut zu Wajikra 16:30

כִּֽי־בַיּ֥וֹם הַזֶּ֛ה יְכַפֵּ֥ר עֲלֵיכֶ֖ם לְטַהֵ֣ר אֶתְכֶ֑ם מִכֹּל֙ חַטֹּ֣אתֵיכֶ֔ם לִפְנֵ֥י יְהוָ֖ה תִּטְהָֽרוּ׃

Denn an diesem Tage wird [Gott] euch sühnen, dass ihr rein werdet; von all euren Sünden sollt ihr rein werden vor dem Herrn.

Flames of Faith

As we learned in Lesson Twelve, Yom Kippur is the day of yechidah. The author of the Tanya found a hint to yechidah in the verse about Yom Kippur. Yom Kippur is described in the Torah as the day of spiritual purification, Ki ba-yom ha-zeh yechapper aleichem mi-kol avonoseichem lifnei Hashem tit’haru, “For on this day He will atone for all of your sins, before Y-H-V-H, God, you will become pure” (Lev. 16:30). The Tanya explained this verse to mean that the purity you will receive will come from before the Tetragrammaton, from the apex of the yud, from the point before the first letter, from the level of yechidah.
