Dear Rabbi Gellman, thank you for addressing this important topic. Forgiveness is not easy, but is necessary to our health. I believe that God is able to love and forgive all beings without condoning or approving of all their actions. There is an important distinction between forgiving the person and condoning or approving their actions. I believe that by holding onto anger and not being able to forgive we are choosing to keep negative energy within us.

How strange and chilling it is that my introduction last week of the issue of unconditional forgiveness this week has a tragic echo in the news of the brutal murder of two staff members of the Israeli Embassy in Washington – Sarah Milgrim, 26, and Yaron Lischinsky, 30, who were attending an American Jewish Committee event on Middle East cooperation.

Forgiveness is the fragrance the violet sheds on the heel that has crushed it.” – Mark TwainI have been deeply touched by the flood of mail from Catholic readers who have appreciated that a rabbi could have some spiritually helpful insights on the new papacy of Leo IV. Here, a Protestant reader, R, shares her soul’s excitement:Dear Rabbi Gelman, I love your column! I’m on vacation writing to you from Rome now.

I recently offered up my list of qualities I hoped to see in the new pope and asked you, dear readers, to share with me your hopes. Now that we joyously have welcomed Pope Leo XIV we can begin to match up our lists and his papacy. I did not include in my list a pope who is a White Sox fan, who has a COSTCO card, who loves Chicago deep-dish pizza, and who speaks English – but we should all give thanks for small favors.
