Description
How do we prepare ourselves for the mitzva of לפני ה' תטהרו? What should we be thinking about? In this shmooze we will address the mitzva of Teshuva, specifically the element of חרטה. We must cease making the calculations of the Ribono shel Olam & deciding for Him to waive our sins and forgive. We must avoid the inconsistencies in our lives, the hypocrisy of our standards of behavior. We will tell a story about the great founder of the Mussar movement, Rav Yisrael Salanter, who was trustworthy in the eyes of the innkeeper as far as שחיטה but not to borrow money. We will study the story of the Tanchuma re: the decision of the parents to give their son for the Molech sacrifice. We will learn about the encounter between Eliyahu & the fisherman
