After reading this story, I realize that no matter how far one has drifted, there is hope!

What happened to the 2 Jews who should have made up the minyan? Did the tzadik redeem them? Excellent story.

Powerful story.
It is God who forgives, but we as brothers must forgive each other also, this story brings out the power of forgiveness between men, not just man who sins against God. Truly a needed lesson for us all.
Jews will have to forgive non-jews for their terrible acts of persecution. Non-Jews must also learn to do the same, and to obstain from persecuting JEWS. Many Christians in spite of their terrible history know that they must never persecute Jews. They are repentive for what has happened in history and even the past 50 years. Most Evangelical Christians support the Nation of Israel. However it is alarming to see how many Main-line Protestants(Lutheran, Episcopal, Methodist and Presbyterian) do not support the Nation of Israel. Catholics are divided as well as Orthodox. Nevertheless many Christians from the latter groups mentioned do support Israel completely, and hate what the PLO and Hezbollah are doing to Israel on a daily basis.
