In this day of repentance, the processing of your stupid and cruel elf Traynor is a poignant reminder of God's will to forgive

Today is Yom Kippur, the Jewish Day of Atonement. The holiest of Jewish holidays, is a time of repentance, because "teshuva". At the end of the day, the judgment of God is written in the book of life. This is the last chance to change what is written. As the meeting is open to the ark containing the Torah scrolls, is the last chance to apologize and make things. When the shofar, the ram's horn, hit the end of the day, the Book of Life is closed and sins will be saved forever.

repentance and forgiveness are at the heart of the Judeo-Christian tradition. That's why Leo Traynor recent blogpost provides a perfect reflection intense and moving in the practical aspects of forgiveness.

harassed all started with Twitter after receiving sustained abuse and toxic - saying, among other things, a "piece of shit dirty Jew" - and then find a Tupperware box full of ashes delivered to your home with a note: "Say hello to your parents at Auschwitz." Two days later came the faded flowers and more direct message to accompany: "You'll come home one day and will cut ur throat bitches and their son disappeared." Traynor was unable to sleep. Not on health, returned home at night, watches over her family asleep naturally terrified that any harm will come to them.

reported the abuse to the authorities, but could not help. Finally acted on his own. Have found a computer that traced the IP address of the executioner, then back to a home address - the address of a friend. The troll was the son of his friend.

That is all. For those of us who are people of faith, we could hear the trumpet giving his final explosion. A young stupid and cruel saved not only the police but also the final judgment of God.

Blog Eye Traynor Traynor called. His eye with glasses looks directly onto the screen and meets the viewer's gaze. God's eyes did the same thing. And there is no hiding behind the anonymity of Twitter. He is the judge of all and knows all the secrets of our hearts.

I have no idea if Traynor is a practicing Jew. God is not mentioned in your story. For me, it does not matter. What he proposes in his blog is a beautiful reflection and concrete as it really is like teshuvah. During the Yom Kippur liturgy, the Book of Job is recited as a reminder of God's forgiveness. Leo Traynor is my hero Yom Kippur.
