Description

p 91. The Jewish people as a whole and every single Jew specifically are fully equipped to learn Torah and do mitzvos. Every Jew gets Olam HaBa (The World To Come) eventually. Hillel taught us how each Jew is great. The greatest zechus (merit) is to be a Jew. Only Hashem knows the greatness of the generation before geula (redemption). A sin is not reflective of who a Jew really is. Teshuvah is the simcha (joy) of returning to who I am. Simcha is being who I am and doing what I am here to do. A Jew cannot be happy doing aveiros (sins) since he is not being true to himself. We must begin with our greatness, not our lackings.
