yom kippur - What other occasions cause forgiveness?

2. 
   

   The Gemara (Sanhedrin 14a) states that assuming certain positions of authority (the Gemara there is discussing semicha, but says it's also true about anyone who is "oleh lgedulah") causes one's sins to be forgiven (See Maharsha, however, for an alternate understanding of the Gemara).

   
   


3. 
   

   Converting to Judaism causes one's prior sins to be forgiven (Yerushalmi Bikurim 11b).
