GUEST,An Orthodox Female Person BS: Monsey's (non) Kosher Chicken Crisis (319* d) RE: BS: Monsey's (non) Kosher Chicken Crisis 13 Sep 06


One more thought: In these weeks before Rosh HaShana & Yom Kippur, I remind all, that in this world there is always "Teshuva". The simple translation is repentance. But the word really means "return". No matter how far one has strayed, He can ALWAYS return to G-d. I do not know what the punishment is for such a grave sin as this this meat saleman is accused of. He caused others to sin. But at least he knows his sin! He is capable of acknowledging his sin before G-d, Having deep, painful remorse, and taking upon himself never to be involved in any such behavior again. Those are the three steps of repentance. Since this sin is also between Man and his fellow Man, he needs to ask forgiveness from all those that he harmed, and make restitution to them, before he can beg forgiveness from G-d. I do not know how in the world he can do this. Perhaps in public written requests in community newspapers, and by giving something of value to the community (personally underwriting enhanced kosher supervision throughout the Monsey consumer market? Somehow paying for the financial toll he caused by necessitating some people to have to discard personal property that could not be koshered?). A person who genuinely begs forgiveness of a person, and is not forgiven, is required to request it twice more, but at different times, and in different ways. If someone has been asked 3 times, in different circumstances for forgiveness, and he refuses to forgive, he is considered an evil person.
May this man find a way to live with himself, correct what he needs to correct, and may his innocent children be spared the shame and ostracism that has resulted by association.
