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.
