I had already taken the pledge and forgave a close relative for the deep pain she caused unintentionally at a very vulnerable time. Towards the end of the interview on Meaningful Minute, Yudy spoke of receiving stories about forgiving teachers who caused pain even decades ago. It really shook me; it evoked memories of words I have never forgotten after more than 50(!) years – the biting pain some teachers inflicted with mocking comments that had nothing to do with chinuch, but that negatively affected my self-image. I decided to forgive them for Charlotte’s sake – an ilui neshama for Shaindel a”h bas Chaim Yehuda Leib. I hope this inspires teachers to be more careful with their words!
