Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, is almost upon us.

It’s that time of year again…S’lichot (or Selichot), the time of year when Jews begin preparing for the High Holy Days of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. The first night of S’lichot was last Saturday.

A lot of times in my life I’ve been the brunt of people being down right mean to me, because they have simply judged me incorrectly. They made an assumption about me, and then they acted upon it in a hurtful manner. I’m getting pretty darn tired of it. Why do people feel the need
