This is the prayer that Jews pray on Yom Kippur during Judaism's most holy moment equivalent to Christmas Eve for the Christians. The Kol Nidre is a celebration of the deceptions to come.

It states: "All vows, obligations, oaths, and anathemas, pledges of all names, which we may vow, or swear, or pledge, or whereby we may be bound, from this Day of Atonement until the next (whose happy coming we await), we do repent. May they be deemed absolved, forgiven, annulled, and void, and made of no effect; they shall not bind us nor have power over us. The vows shall not be reckoned vows; the obligations shall not be obligatory; nor the oaths be oaths."

What is forgiven? The Jewish Prayer Book lists the following sins specifically that are unconditionally forgiven beforehand on Yom Kipur.

Sins committed with incestuous lewdness, Oppressing one's neighbor, Assembling to commit fornication, Deceitful acknowledgments, Violence, Evil imagination, Denying and lying, Taking and giving bribes, Calumny, Extortion and usury, Haughtiness, Shamelessness, Lawlessness, Litigiousness, Treachery to one's neighbor, Tale bearing, False-swearing, Embezzlement, and Stealing
