Yom Kippur - True Forgiveness
R' Moshe Feinstein Z'’L once instructed the losing side to apologize to the
winning side, after concluding an arbitration between two Jews/
“I apologize for any aggravation I caused you,” said the losing side.
“No problem!” replied the winning side “I was obviously meant to go through
this suffering!”
R' Moshe however was still not satisfied and insisted:
“Tell him explicitly that you forgive him.”
“I’m really fine with it. I’m not upset.” reiterated the losing side.
“That is not enough,” said R' Moshe. “You must tell him clearly and
unequivocally that you forgive him!”
Realizing that R' Moshe was insistent, he said, “I forgive you.”
R' Moshe then wished them well and sent them on their way. A student
who saw the incident asked why the Rosh Yeshiva insisted that he forgive him.
R' Moshe explained that Chazal teach us that the Jews suffered the terrible
loss of the ten martyrs (i.e., Rabbi Akiva and his colleagues) because Yosef’s ten
brothers sold him as a slave.
Rabbenu Bachya questioned why this should have been so, as the brothers
asked him to forgive them. He proceeded to answer that although Yosef
had told the brothers not to be distressed and not to reproach themselves for
having sold him, since it was HaShem’s will, however he never said the
words “I forgive you!”
Because of this, the sin still hung over their heads and they were punished for it
through their descendants!”

Advanced Halachic bulletin
Shulchan Aruch 616:2 There are no limitations on children below nine eating on Yom Kippur. Such a child may eat as much as he wants whenever he wants. Even if the child wants to fast, we do not allow him to. This does not mean that the child must be forced to eat right away, but that any degree abstinence, which parents would deem unhealthy under normal circumstances should not be allowed on Yom Kippur.
Healthy children nine and above (or weak children of ten) should fast “for hours” as chinuch. This means that he should eat his morning meal an hour after the time he usually does. The amount of the delay in eating depends on the strength of the child. Some opinions hold that all meals should be delayed during the course of the day. However, it would seem that if the child broke his fast already and will eat the same amount of food anyway, it should not make any difference whether his next meal is earlier or later. Only if a child of this age complains of great thirst should he be given to drink at night.

Good Judgment - Rosh Hashana
One year R' Dovid Lelov decided to spend Rosh HaShana with his mentor,
the Chozeh of
house to see the great Chozeh. Before Tekios, the Chozeh cloistered himself
privately in his study. R' Dovid was chosen to enter the study and bring the
Chozeh to Musaf. When he entered, the boy took the opportunity to
accompany him. The Chozeh turned to him and asked:
“Have you begun to learn Gemora yet?”
“Yes!” he answered.
“What are you studying?” continued the Chozeh.
“Edyos.” replied the boy.
“Did you find anything in this Gemora difficult?” asked the Chozeh.
“I didn’t understand why our sages say that relatives are invalid for giving good
and bad testimony. I can understand why their positive testimony is invalid;
after all a person will do all he can to protect his relative. But why would his
negative testimony be rejected? If a man will say negative things about a
relative, it must certainly be true, because what person would falsely accuse his
own relative?
“How did you resolve your question?” probed the Chozeh.
It says that two men must stand to give testimony. What kind of person could
give negative testimony against a realative? Such a person is not worth of the
name ‘man’, and so for this alone he is invalid to give testimony.”
The Chozeh’s turned to R' Dovid and smiled
“Even a child understands that a person cannot see evil in his relative. If so,
surely HaShem doesn’t see any evil in his children!”
The Chozeh then rejoined the con
the year would be good!!

No breath may taken between the short beeps of the Teruah, or the longer beeps between each Shevarim. There are two views of how to blow the Shevarim-Terurah combination. Some hold that no breath may be taken between them and even B’diavad, a breath between them invalidates the blast. Others hold that a breath should be taken between the Shevarim and the Teruah.
