I don't know about you, but many made some real mistakes in the past year.
Some because they were lazy and others because they were truly destructive, greedy or simply narcissistic.
Mistakes are part of life. But whether its justified or not, the damage has been done.
During the ten days of repentance, I'm reviewing my actions from the past year, apologizing to certain individuals for things I did wrong and redoubling my efforts to do more things right. As Yom Kippur approaches, I hope we will be able to make 5772 even better than last year.
And for those who separate responsible, loving parents from their children - there is no forgiveness. As this time can never be made up!
There is nothing worse in life than the suffering of being seperated from your children - children that need BOTH parents.
For me, it has now been exactly one year that my children and I have not held hands, embraced or laughed together.
For those who have and continue to make every true effort to reunite caring, loving and responsible parents with their children, those who uphold the sacred principles of Shalom Biet, I say G-d bless you and your family.
May you have an easy fast. May you enjoy a long, peaceful and healthy life.
May you be recognized for not being selfish and judgemental. But rather rewarded for your unconditional goodness, sincere caring and being responsible for a child's love and well being.
That you, I and my children will soon break bread together.
Nothing is more important than family.
המשפחה היא חשובה ביותר
Shana Tova.
Best wishes,
Joel, Lior, David and Amanda Leyden
