Project Forgiveness 2009

Welcome to Project Forgiveness. Here, we collect and post videos, emails, postcards and other expressions of regret from those who seek to forgive and from those who wish to express regret.

In the days leading up to the Jewish New Year, we offer this forum as a first step. It is our hope that sharing thoughts of forgiveness online will translate into actual forgiveness between individuals in the days to come.

How to participate? It's simple. Send us your "sorry" (upload a video to youtube and send us the link) or email us at: forgiveness or mail to:

Thank you for being my son. I love you and miss you.
No matter what, I regret it if things don't go as you have expected. I want to make things better and I hope you can find the space in your heart to want the same.

Love,

Mommy

I'm sorry for hating my husband so much - holding everything over these last 18 years against him and not trying to understand him like I would try to understand others.

I am sorry for having a short temper and not giving people the benefit of the doubt. Of judging others too harshly. Of thinking negative thoughts.

I'm sorry for yelling at my husband and kids whom I love. I'm sorry for being selfish and jealous. I will try to do better.

I ask the eternal spirit of my Aunt Vera to forgive my ungratefulness, callousness, rudeness and lack of love.

I ask forgiveness for all hurt I have caused to anyone.
