<p>Thank you Rabbi Romm,</p> <p>Very enjoyable shiur, very clear and interesting and thought provoking.</p> <p>With regards to teshuvah without a prior sin, along the line of what you mentioned from Rabbi Solovechiks droshos, that there's always room for self improvement.</p> <p>Kabala and Chassidus is replete with this concept, where teshuvah means much more then just repepnting for a sin, it means returning to Hashem. Based on the possuk koheles 12:7 'vhoruach toshuv e-l hoelokim asher nitnah' and the spirit (neshama) should return to the G-d who gave it.</p> <p>Throughout ones life one is to constantly strive to return to their soul-root, Hashem, returning and climbing, higher and higher each and every day on this earth..</p>
