This episode of the "Kabbalah of Forgiveness" series speaks about the unique bond that is formed by repairing a broken relationship. Dr. Abramson cites a powerful metaphor from the Midrash, which illustrates the concept of Teshuvah and distinguishes between a human being’s forgiveness and G-d’s. He discusses three levels of repentance described by the Ramak in his book, Pardes Rimonim and then applies these concepts to the perspectives of both the sinner and the forgiver.
