Excellent explanation! Do you know if any communities base their arrangements on the implication of this Gemara?

I understand that, but I wouldn't call it "forgiveness". More like seeking their blessing.

Why must the younger sister/brother ask for forgiveness? Did they do something terrible to them?

comment Why is the Jewish Population so small?
This is a good question. I wouldn't be surprised if there were hundreds of millions more who can directly trace their ancestry to Jews, within 5 to 10 generations.

comment Why is the Jewish Population so small?
@TofeeqAhmad I think the explanation for that is that religious Jews (which until 300 years ago were essentially all Jews) never feared that Judaism would become extinct since God guaranteed it wouldn't. There was never a need to "expand" and "recruit". In fact Jews turned potential converts away - sometimes with devastating consequences.

comment Are the Jews today still waiting for the Messiah to come?
Perhaps the prophecy of world-wide belief in God will be that the Muslims convert everyone to Islam. They believe in the same God and they're nearly a third of the world's population already

Not all Christian crosses have one line longer vertically. For example, St. George's cross.

Is salt considered food? You can't eat it on its own
