"In Judaism, forgiveness never means forgetting, it never means excusing - it means recognizing the humanity in others by believing that change is possible through the genuine process of teshuvah. Would it not be a better world if we could all forgive and be forgiven?"
Life's most joyful milestones deserve to be celebrated with our entire Beth Yeshurun family. We invite you to share your births and weddings by sending us your photos and good news at mara.segal@bethyeshurun.org.
