OneTable Shabbat Kiddush Reading

Forgiveness: A Kiddush Reading
What do we want to let go?
What do we want to forgive?
This is what we must put down
in order to raise our glasses,
in order to say l'chaim — to life.


"I forgive you. Not for you, but for me. Because like chains shackling me to the past I will no longer pollute my heart with bitterness, fear, distrust or anger. I forgive you because hate is just another way of holding on, and you don’t belong here anymore." - Beau Taplin, Forgiveness
