Note to the teacher When we burden ourselves with anger, hate, and vengeance, we forfeit the blessings of having the guidance of the Holy Spirit. We invite the spirit of the adversary into our lives and thus limit our own progress toward exaltation when we are unforgiving. We invite the Holy Spirit into our lives when we follow the example of Jesus Christ and truly forgive. Suggested Lesson Development We Have Been Commanded to Forgive All People Discussion • What does it mean to forgive someone? and quotation After class members have a chance to respond, ask a class member to read the following statement by Elder Richard G. Scott of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles: “Forgiveness . allows the love of God to purge your heart and mind of the poison of hate. -

IV. Sweet Sleep: Rituals and Aids
IV. Sweet Sleep: Rituals and Aids By Rabbi Elie Kaplan Spitz Rituals and Aids Before: Overview of Ritual and Sleep Aids Hashkeveinu Forgiveness Before Sleep Reciting Sh’ma on the Bed Caster of Sleep Aids for Better Sleep Optimal Temperature Jacob’s Monumental Pillow Lullaby as “Lillith Bye” Hebrew Lullabies Yiddish Lullabies Angels by My Side English Prayers and Lullabies Guided Meditations for Relaxation and Restful Sleep After: Lazybones Awaking with Gratitude: Modeh Ani A Woman’s Modeh Ani A Pure Soul The Miracle of a Functional Body Conclusion Overview: Rituals and Aids for Sleep Intentionality matters. The words we recite before sleep sets the path for our night journey. The words we utter upon awaking create awareness that shapes our wakefulness. Rituals and aids surrounding sleep have content that ripples inwardly and outwardly. Many of our small children at bedtime clutch a teddy bear or stroke a “blankie,” often while sucking a finger. Psychologist Donald Winnicott labeled such items of comfort “transitional objects.” For him the “transition” was from feeling merged with the mother to an awareness of separateness. The object was a substitute for the mother’s comforting presence and yet, not her. Some would reduce the rituals of nighttime to a transitional object, failing to value a ritual’s content. By analogy, although all love may be tied back to our initial love of mother, in our lives we mature and our love choices are marked by intervening relationships, psychological predisposition, and commitment. Rituals do offer constancy and evoke feelings of comfort and the words recited before and after sleep have their own inherent significance. -

Wesleyan University of GHOSTS and ANGELS: DERRIDA
MARY -JANE RUBENSTEIN Wesleyan University OF GHOSTS AND ANGELS : DERRIDA , KUSHNER , AND THE IMPOSSIBILITY OF FORGIVENESS “Forgiveness forgives only the unforgivable .” Jacques Derrida 1 It isn’t easy, it doesn’t count if it’s easy, it’s the hardest thing. Forgiveness.” Tony Kushner 2 Preparation for a Dream n a number of essays and lectures written toward the end of his life, Jacques Derrida sets forth the controversial proposition that forgiveness can only I forgive that which cannot be forgiven. If a transgression is said to be “forgivable,” he explains, then it might call for forgetting, restitution, and/or reconciliation, but it would not call for forgiveness. Absurdly, the only crime that would truly call for forgiveness would be the unforgivable —that which could never be understood, forgotten, or undone: “If one is only prepared to forgive what the church calls ‘venial sin,’ then the very idea of forgiveness would disappear. If there is something to forgive, it would be what in religious language is called mortal sin, the worst, the unforgivable crime or harm. From which comes the aporia, which can be described in its dry and implacable formality, without mercy: forgiveness forgives only the unforgivable. One cannot, or one should not, forgive; there is only forgiveness, if there is any, where there is the unforgivable.” 3 Insofar as only that which could never be forgiven could be forgiven, Derrida teaches us that the very possibility of forgiveness lies in its impossibility. Forgiveness of the unforgivable “does not exist as possible, it only exists by exempting itself from the law of the possible, by impossibilizing itself, so to speak, and in the infinite endurance of the impossible as impossible.” 4 And yet, forgiveness seems to happen—or at the very least, to be offered, denied, and requested—all the time, and without provoking the aporetic agony that the infinite endurance of the impossibility of the possible as impossible should 1 Jacques Derrida, “On Forgiveness,” trans. -
Slayage, Number 9: Abbott
Stacey Abbott Walking the Fine Line Between Angel and Angelus [1] Much of the discussion and analysis of the television series Buffy the Vampire Slayer has focused upon the show’s moral complexity in its representation of good and evil. Joss Whedon’s world is a world of grays rather than crisp black and white oppositions. The character Angel, the vampire with a soul, was one of the earliest introductions of this ambiguity into the series. The slayer and her friends were forced to accept that a vampire could be good. Difficult to accept but not as difficult as a loving boyfriend who can turn evil over night . again embodied in Angel. He offered the young Slayer, her friends and the audience a lot to think about in those first two seasons. While initially morally complex, as the series has developed and explored the far reaches of moral ambiguity through the actions of all of the Scooby Gang, Angel’s representation seems too neatly split across polar oppositions: the good Angel versus the evil Angelus. These two sides of Angel have been described by Beth Braun as “tortured soul” and “soulless demon” (90) and by Mary Alice Money as “soulful vampire extraordinaire” and “evil über-vampire” (98-99). [2] Rhonda V. Wilcox suggests, in “Every Night I Save You: Buffy, Spike, Sex and Redemption,” “[that] since Angel is good because he possesses a soul, he still represents an essentialist definition of good.” This is in contrast to the vampire Spike, who, she argues, “owns no human soul, yet repeatedly does good; if he can be seen as capable of change, capable of good, capable of love, then he can represent an existentialist definition of good” (paragraph 15). -
