One aspect of having a successful Yom Kippur is based on our ability to forgive and forget. With that in mind, I share with you two articles. One addresses the importance of forgetting and the other addresses the importance of forgiving. Once we have hopefully managed to forgive and forget, we are then ready to experience Sukkot, which is called “z’man simchateinu” – “our time of happiness”. For many people though, happiness isn’t so easy to achieve. Therefore, I share with you two articles that can help us better understand the dynamics of happiness and possibly enable us to be happier people.
