Description

Does Hashem ever reject sincere repentance? At the end of the long list of punitive curses in Vayikra 26, we are told that the people will finally have a change of heart and confess their sins. Surprisingly however, this confession is not met with forgiveness but with redoubled punishment! How is Hashem's reaction to be understood? Why does repentance not bring atonement in its wake? This Torahcast, brought to you by ALHATORAH.ORG, featuring Neima Novetsky, explores these questions and more. For primary sources and analysis, see https://alhatorah.org/Repentance_Rejected.
