Mechilah (Forgiveness), מחילה

On Yom Kippur we come before G-d, confess our sins and ask for forgiveness. These are regarding the mitzvot of Bein Odom L’Makom, between man and G-d. But the sins of Bein Odom l’Chavayro, between man and man, we must ask forgiveness of our fellow before we can receive Divine forgiveness.

On our blog we make mistakes. Occasionally we copy something without attribution. Sometimes we write something too harsh or too provocative. We cannot know our reader’s context, sometimes something we write hurts a reader. Sometimes we quote Torah without stating a source.

For these and other failures, please forgive us.

Moriya's Place seconds everything Reb Gutman Locks says and asks for mechilah (forgiveness), as well. The writers at Moriya's Place are not angels, and we don't know who our readers are.  May each Jew advance each year towards meriting a geulah shelaimah b'rachamim from Hakadosh Baruch Hu so that our matzav as a collective will only be good, and that we merit inheriting Eretz Yisrael properly through the coming of Moshiach, bimhairah v'yameinu.
