Lions Win

The Detroit Lions were able to run onto the field in celebration of their first win in 20 games. This was the Lions' first regular-season win since Dec. 23, 2007 as they snapped a 19-game losing skid.

There is a spiritual significance in all things in their time, some are more obvious than others like the NFL Detroit Lions who averted 20 loses in a row on the eve of Yom Kippur/Day of Atonement for the Jewish People. Winning on the 20th is significant since the number 20 refers to Keter/Crown as reflected in the power of will and the power of pleasure–the two essential forces of the human soul invested in the body as a crown that surrounds.

Coming on the eve of Yom Kippur is also significant since the ten days between Rosh HaShana/New Year and Yom Kippur/Day of Atonement are days of Royalty when God is crowned by the people accepting the judgement of the King. Yom Kippur ends with the fifth and final prayer as the sun declines on the holy day called Nilia/Locking extolling the Creator as King.

After Nila we go back to calling God Ail/Kind instead of Melech/King. Lions are the symbol of kindness in the Torah and is often embroidered into the cloth covering of the Torah–two lions with crowns on their heads.
