Atonement

Hi Joanne, Shabbat Shalom. A difficult holiday and time for reflection. I am coming to Florida on Tuesday. Will be there until 10/1. Am already freaking out-the plane thing again! So trying to get ready. Heard from faith and might meet if your interested. Gut Yontev!

We are all imperfect and make mistakes (2 Chronicles 6:36). It's good to know that G-d is forgiving and merciful towards those that repent and seek his forgiveness. All the best to you too!

You haven't offended me. But I do hope you get to check out more of my discussions now that you're done praying and introspecting. Peace and love to you and yours.

Hi Jo, I have never felt anything but love and kindness from you. I do realize that even the kindest person can inadvertantly step on someones feet, but you Jo, have no apologies to make for me. Love You, Leenie

How wonderful if all the world could spend one day per year reviewing mistakes made that year and asking for forgiveness as well as forgiving one's self. I know that the Chinese have a tradition like the Jews but don't know if others do. True forgiveness is hard to come by but what a wonderful thing the ability to truly start fresheach year. All one has to do is remember how much pain and grief happens between humans over past wrongs.

Wow! Ain't that humility at its best? To ask for forgiveness for offenses that might have been unknowingly sent... You are so kind, cobra, and you put yours truly to shame. I am a very offensive person and I bully around and still act as if everyone must concede and bow before me. I could take a lesson in humility and kindness from you!

I have missed you. I cant imagine you offending anyone. You have always been sweet and kind. I however must ask for forgiveness. I did say that I wouldn't leave for a long period of time again and yet I have. I am trying to get back to being who I was before, and its been a long difficult road. I am glad to see you again, and will do everything I can to keep my promise this time.
