Rabbi Max, This is the Season to Ask for Forgiveness

Comments (2)

Once again, Rabbi Jacob Max is the center of media attention and for that matter the general conversation in the community. Be it a meal in a sukkah or just walking along greeting people on Sunday, the Baltimore Sun’s regurgitation of all that we already knew, had people shaking their heads once more. We learned almost nothing new from the article. Perhaps what continues to be missing is any semblance of teshuva or asking of forgiveness by Max. Here we are as Jews in a time when repentance is a central them to our prayers and to our actions towards one another. One wonders while Max was striking his chest in the traditional way during Yom Kippur prayers, if he put a face to each person who has come out and bravely told their stories of how he impacted… read more

How can you possibly comment on Rabbi Max’s decision to ask forgiveness when you are not privy to the information as to if he has or has not already done so or plans to do so. It is a personal decision on his part and nobody elses business. You can’t honestly be so blind as to believe your comments may make a difference in his decision as to what he feels is right for him. Your comments are based on nothing. No facts. No interview. Nothing. Rabbi Max needs to decide what is right for him because ultimately, he is the one who will answer to God.
