Clean slate

 Once a year, on the holiest day of the year we are given the gift to
wipe the slate clean and begin fresh and new.

Tashlich allows us to cast error to the ever-seeing eye of a fish in a fresh body of water.
Kapporos is the grace that expiates our life as women trade a hen and men a rooster and a pregnant woman a hen, rooster and another hen.

Trade the hen for your life.
Teshuva allows you to ask for forgiveness from the one you hurt, G-d and yourself and turn it
back to good and rightful kindness.

Then, wash yourself in the holy water of a mikveh.
Wear white to pray.

Daven from the depths of your heart.

And don't forget to fast.

This is the formula.
For a clean slate betweem you and G-d.
Between you and another, ask for forgiveness.

If they don't forgive you, ask 3 times.
Then give it over to G-d.
You have done all you can.
