What does it take for forgiveness to be real?

In this episode, Zvi Hirschfield and Rabbanit Nechama Goldman Barash explore Parshat Ha’azinu and the themes of Yom Kippur through the lens of sin, forgiveness, and reconciliation. They examine the Talmudic teaching that while Yom Kippur atones for sins between humans and God, it does not cover wrongs between people until forgiveness is sought and granted. Through stories of failed and successful reconciliations, they reflect on what it truly means to apologize, to forgive, and to let go—for the sake of others and for ourselves.
