Syag, let’s bury the hatchet. It’s been going on forever. I’ve felt at times that you’ve made unwarranted adverse assailings to me that were outside the issues under discussion. I’m sure you’ve felt similarly about myself. Nevertheless, I shouldn’t have taken this antagonism to unrelated discussions, and for that I sincerely apologize. I don’t think there’s any need for me to wait for Elul to do so. I hope you’ll be forgiving. I’ll try much harder not to make barbs in my comments even when I strongly believe you’re wrong on issues. Being human I may slip up again, but know even if I do that in my heart I never mean it personally, even if it unfortunately comes across as such. I love every Jew in the world with a full heart, even if conversations go awry or way off track into misunderstanding territory. I regret those comments rather quickly. To conclude, you have no need to ask me for any form of absolution or express any contrition; whatever imperative may have existed for that (if any), I absolutely grant in advance unconditionally. Thank you and I wish you and everyone, an early, shana tova.
