Talmud for Rosh Hashanah 35:5

וגזר דין דצבור מי מיקרע והא כתוב אחד אומר (ירמיהו ד, יד) כבסי מרעה לבך וכתיב (ירמיהו ב, כב) כי אם תכבסי בנתר ותרבי לך בורית נכתם עונך לפני מאי לאו כאן קודם גזר דין כאן לאחר גזר דין

is good for a man whether before the final sentence has been pronounced or after. But can the final sentence on a community be rescinded? Have we not one text which says, Wash they heart from wickedness,<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Jer. IV, 14.');"><sup>5</sup></span>

Jerusalem Talmud Rosh Hashanah

Rebbi Ḥiyya bar Abba was standing praying. Rebbi Cahana came and stood behind him in prayer. When Rebbi Ḥiyya had finished, he sat down in order not to walk by him. [Rav Cahana spent a long time praying.]100In this paragraph, the corrector’s additions are from Sanhedrin. After he finished, he told him, is that your way to make your superiors suffer? He told him, I am a descendant of the House of Eli, of whom it is written1011S. 3:14. Babli 18a.: if the sin of the House of Eli would forever be atoned for by sacrifice and offering. By sacrifice and offering it cannot be atoned for, [but] it can be atoned for by prayer. He prayed for him, he reached old age while his fingernails remained red like those of a small child.
