Forgiveness

| Rosh Hashanah Yom Kippur By :  The Jewish Theological Seminary | Holidays

In the time of the Temple, the process of atoning was prescribed through sacrifice and priestly ritual. Now we have the much more complex challenge of seeking forgiveness from those who we have wronged. It means reflecting on our shortcomings and forgiving ourselves and reaching out to those we have hurt. These resources provide guideposts on going through this difficult process.
