The centuries-long controversy over Yom Kippur's Kol Nidre. - By Michael Weiss - Slate Magazine 

Public domain.
Antisemites' Favorite Jewish Prayer: "For observant Jews, Kol Nidre represents the liturgical kickoff for Yom Kippur (opening services are named for the prayer, which means "All vows"), a repetitive and crescendoing piece of Aramaic recited before sunset on the Day of Atonement. For anti-Semites, it's evidence that Jews are duplicitous and two-faced." (Slate)
