The Power and Process of Forgiveness:
In this episode of From The Inside Out Podcast with Rivkah & Eda, we explore forgiveness, emphasizing the importance of letting go of past resentments to lead a fulfilling life. The discussion covers various methods of achieving forgiveness, including writing unsent letters and understanding that forgiveness is a deeply personal process not necessarily linked to others’ actions.

KEREN HASHANA
Even if we resolve to give charity every day, it’s easy to miss a day, to forget, or to get distracted.
Imagine the opportunity to partner daily with the Lubavitcher Rebbe in giving charity. 72 years ago, the Rebbe, launched an initiative to ensure that every person has the merit of daily tzedaka-giving. The Rebbe established a special fund that would guarantee not a day goes by without contributing to charity, it is called Keren Hashana.
There are many great organizations to give charity to daily…the Rebbe stated that those who wish to rely on him for their daily giving can donate to this fund. The first daily giving fund. The Idea: You donate in amounts which reflect the number of days in the coming year–this year 354–and Keren Hashana disburses the charity on your behalf -- twice every day! Once before Shachris and once before Mincha. This guarantees that you will give Tzedaka every day of the Year. It’s not important how much you give, the idea is to give Tzedaka every day.
In the past year alone, millions of dollars were distributed towards these social services. How is the money distributed? Where does the money go? The funds are donated through Machne Israel Chabad HQ in support of those less fortunate, single-parent households, educational subsidies for Torah education, emergency assistance, Hachnosas Kallah to holiday grants, and a host of other initiatives made possible through Chabad's global network. This past year, a significant amount of money was directed in support of our brothers and sisters in the holy land of Israel.
