  • The First Step in Tshuva: The Power of Tefillah

    This video continues the discussion on Torah Ayin Gimel and the principles of Tshuva (repentance). It emphasizes the various commonly understood steps of Tshuva, such as Vidui (confession), Aziv Esachet (forsaking sin), Kabbalah La'aseb (acceptance for the future), and Harata (regret). However, the main focus is on the notion that Tshuva begins even before these actions—with Tefillah (prayer). Through references to Rabbinic teachings and biblical texts, the script asserts that the real initial step in Tshuva is the desire to return to Hashem (God). It is stressed that expressing this desire and calling out to Hashem is crucial, as it sets the stage for the process of repentance. The lesson concludes that Tshuva, which includes elements like heartfelt prayer and the eagerness to change, aligns one with Hashem's will and opens the path to true repentance. Lastly, it delves into the profound concept of the fifty gates of Tshuva, describing how the final gate, representing complete repentance, is a cooperative effort between human initiative and divine assistance.
