As the year 5778 comes to a close, I wish to ask Mechila - forgiveness
from anyone that I have offended in any way. Intentionally or unintentionally. I have already granted Mechilla to those that
have offended me.
May God give us all, good health, peace and prosperity.
May God heal the sick and grant them a quick recovery from
their illnesses.
May God grant those that are looking for Shiduchim – finding
them, getting married, and having a great life together, with children that
will be loved.
May God grant our religious leaders the wisdom to lead us in ways that
will produce a true Kiddush HaShem.
May God give our political leaders the wisdom to lead us wisely
and honorably.
May God help us end – once and for all – all forms of abuse
and cover-ups that have plagued us for so many years. And may He quickly heal the pain of the
survivors and their families that have suffered so much because of that.
May God give us all the wisdom to end all discrimination against
the Ger (convert), the Baal Teshuva (newly religious), or those with different Hashkafos - and to instead
love them.
May God end all prejudice against different races and
ethnicities …or anyone different from ourselves …and open our hearts to accept and honor all human
beings created in His image.
And finally - may God grant peace to the people and the land
of Israel - and may it come quickly.
May the New Year 5759 bring all of these blessings and more.
K’siva V’Chasima Tova
