"The chief cupbearer then spoke up and said to Pharaoh, “I must make mention today of my offenses." (Genesis 41:9) Admitting to a mistake is the first step towards disrupting a pattern of behavior. Even if we just admit it to ourselves, recognizing the misstep is difficult. However, once we verbalize the error we feel the weight lifted. Carrying the wrongs we have done is a drain on our energy, on our focus on our relationships. Naming them releases us. Happy Hannukah!!
