[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In the jewish religion is there some sort of cleansing and restitution program? The issue I have with protestant churches in particular is that you just say sorry to God or even to others and kind of move on without change in a lot of them.[/quote] In addition to apologizing to the individuals we've wronged and then praying for forgiveness from God, we also fast on Yom Kippur. The prayers on Yom Kippur are a mix of individual ("I lied, I betrayed) and communal ("we spread malicious gossip, we acted unjustly") and everyone says them all, regardless of whether you committed that particular sin in the past year, because we harm people purposely and by accident, knowingly and unknowingly, and we ask forgiveness for ourselves as individuals and for our community. What kind of "program" would you find meaningful?[/quote]
