Is one obligated to appease someone one has wronged on Erev Yom Kippur, and does this apply even to verbal offenses?
Synopsis
Yom Kippur does not atone for interpersonal sins until the offender appeases the wronged party. This obligation extends even to verbal wrongs (ona'at devarim), not only financial harm.
