Forgiveness

Jewish law (Halacha) requires us to ask forgiveness from anyone whom we may have harmed, whether the harm was physical, financial, emotional, or social. Nevertheless, one is required to be gracious in granting forgiveness. The source for this halacha is the Mishna in Baba Kamma 8:7 which says, "From where do we know that it is cruel to not forgive? For it says, "Abraham prayed to God and God healed Abimelech..." (B'reishis (Genesis) 20:17).

I know that one of the most important characteristics of a man is forgiveness. You never lose anything when forgiving someone hurt you before but will get that praiseworthy thing.

"Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do." And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said, "Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit:"

Let it be, just let it be and everything will be fine.



If we really want to love
We must learn how to forgive
