TESHUVAH: TURNING FROM SIN TO G-D

BY RICHARD SISON | 2016

INTRODUCTION
​The days of repentance, better known as Teshuvah, are the prelude and a preparation for the High Holy Days. As the Fall Feasts approach, one must be clear from his\her sins. However, people can and should seek forgiveness for wrong they have committed at any time. There are several stages of Teshuvah, including the sinner recognizing his\her mistakes, feeling and showing sincere remorse and doing everything in their power to undo any damage that has been done in the context of biblical precepts. The biblical restitution and the proper justice system can be found in the books of Exodus chapter 22 and in Leviticus, chapters 5 and 6. If a specific person has been wronged, the offender must ask that person for forgiveness. The final stage of teshuvah is resolving to never commit or avoid such a sin again.
