This week we began our Yom Kippur preparations by discussing the ten days of repentance ( עשרת ימי תשובה ) and the Jewish approach to repentance.
תְּשׁוּבָה (Teshuvah) or repentance is comprised of three ingredients: regret of the misdeed, the decision to change, and verbal expression of one’s sins. We also spoke about not repeating our sins in the forthcoming year. Then we walked to the ravine behind Congregation Shaarey Zedek to perform the Jewish ritual of תשליך (tashlich) whereby we symbolically separate ourselves from our sins.
May you and yours be inscribed in the Book of Life (G'mar Chatimah Tovah)!
גמר חתימה טובה
Best,
