An outside view: Famous abusers seek easy forgiveness. Rosh Hashanah teaches us repentance is hard

It is often stated that diversity has particular values in addressing moral issues.

Even before the precision of the article,  all four of us had been discussing this issue, as befits Jews, around the dinner table.

These discussions were prompted both by some rather diffuse and ill defined coverage in conventional media about attempts for offenders to rehabilitate themselves. 

Everyday, I try and remind myself that I have made a choice to live in a world different from most people.  Sometimes it is very pleasing.
