According to the great tzaddikim, eating on erev Yom Kippur atones for all the meals you ate without the proper intention all year. Since the purpose of eating on erev Yom Kippur is to give you strength to fast on Yom Kippur, the meals on erev Yom Kippur have the power to restore and instill kedusha into the meals of the entire year. ~ Sfas Emes as quoted by R’ Dovid Meisels
G’mar Chasima Tovah!
If one could have but one Yom Kippur in a lifetime, this alone would be reason for tremendous joy. ~ R’ Yisroel Salanter zt”l
When Yeshayah said, “for I am a man of impure lips and I dwell among an impure people” (Yeshayah 6:6), Hashem said to him, “Yeshayah, you are permitted to say “I am a man of impure lips” about yourself, but about Israel you say “And i dwell among an impure people?!”
The verse says “and one of the Seraphim came upon me and in his hand was a burning coal.” What is meant by a burning coal? A burning coal [to be thrown] on one who speaks lashon hara about my child. ~ Midrash Tanchuma, Vayishlach
By Hashem choosing the month of Tisrhei to judge the world, it demonstrates His great compassion. He judges the entire world at a time when He is favorably disposed and full of mercy. For in Tishrei, Klal Yisrael is busy doing a great many mitzvos: shofar, Yom Kippur, sukkah, and lulav, all of which arouse Hashem’s abundant compassion. ~ Abudraham
In spirituality, double jeopardy is illegal – the Heavenly Court can’t judge anyone who has already judged himself. ~ R’ Lazer Brody
How does a person know that the gates of Heaven have opened to allow his prayers to enter? When he feels his heart opening up and a fountain of faith surging up from below, it is a sign that the gates of Heaven have opened up. ~ Toras Avos as quoted by R’ Dovid Meisels

Giving tzedakah on erev Rosh Hashana is considered a great mitzvah. In fact, as a result of Jews giving tzedakah, the Heavenly Gates of Mercy are opened wide. For in the same measure that we take pity on the poor, Hashem takes pity on us. ~ Ohr Hachayim as quoted by R’ Dovid Meisels
Shana Tova!
