[Avodah] Bakoshas Mechila and Being Mefayess

[Rabbi Meir G. Rabi]

Has anyone heard of the following being practiced or advocated in recent
times?
The RaMBaMs ruling that one must confess their interpersonal sins in public?
Bein Adam LaMakom RaMBaM rules is not to be publicly confessed bcs it is a
Chutzpah.

It seems this is not just about those interpersonal sins that have publicly
humiliated the victim.
Might the purpose be to set the tone in the community
achieved by the sinners being publicly humiliated for their sins?

Perhaps R Yonas ruling that even those who will certainly have no influence
over a sinner
must nevertheless be MochiAch the sinner
as long as the sinner might be attentive to his Rosh Yeshivah?
Is the purpose of this [useless] Tochacha to set the community tone?

Has anyone heard of the following being practiced or advocated in recent
times?
The sinner approaching 3 friends of the victim and persuading them to
approach the victim, together with the sinner,
that they appeal to their friend, the victim, to forgive the sinner?

In other words, the sinner must persuade the friends of his sincerity and
that his compensation offer is acceptable.




Best,

Meir G. Rabi
