When Feathers Fly

By John Darer

There is a story frequently included in Yom Kippur sermons, about a gossipy woman who felt guilty about her behavior and told her rabbi that she wanted to make amends. The rabbi told her to take a feather pillow to the top of a hill, cut it open, and let the feathers fly. She did as he asked, and upon her return asked the rabbi if she was now forgiven. He told her there was one more step: she had to go back to the hill, and gather up all the feathers.
