Recently many of us have been thinking about the Spring Holydays. Today I would like to continue this theme as we begin to ponder the Passover now less than 4 weeks away. Today I would like to talk about the most fundamental quality of both Judaism and Christianity and perhaps the most neglected and difficult to live by. The lack of this quality is the cause of many lingering problems in the world, and in our lives. It is a basic Biblical concept and it is called forgiveness. Forgiveness is easy to talk about, but so difficult to do. Let us begin with a basic definition of forgiveness.
