Some people don't understand importance of month Elul and Tishrei. It would be good to explain. I am one of them .

In honor of Elul I am going to post one of the foundations of Teshuva from the Ohrchos Tzaddikim everyday.

Charata- One must have regret and understand what they have done. Included in this foundation is also, removing any positive "feeling" the person might have had while committing a sin.
For example, if one ate non-kosher food, they shouldn't, "say I regret eating that food, but wow it was delicious!"

concerning the article "The Importance of Torah" by Rabbi Dovid Goldwasser, I think this concept is very important and every teacher and parent should be aware that children need constant guidence and the only source should be from the Torah; especially in today's generation!

How overwhelming one might find teshuva to be. All the details, fear, regret etc, but we forget that Hash-m gave us this power to do Teshuva on ANYTHING as a gift!! Really we can be forgiven for anything and everything!

Anonymous said...

We learn in Sha'arei Teshuva that one must realize that even Tzaddikim fall sometimes. We learn that there is NO ONE in the world that lives without ever sinning!

Anonymous said...

The second foundation of Teshuva is Azivas HaCheit. Once a person forsakes the sin, he should not return to it, for his Teshuva is considered Batul. A person should forsake his wrongdoing and regret he ever did them.

Anonymous said...

Concerning the article "the destruction of the bais Hamikdash" by RAbbi Dovid Goldwasser, How is it that in that generation, when things were SO clear, they had Nevuah, and were able to have Hash-m communicate with them, that the love for Torah became dull and they were less enthusiastic?

What should we say when we feel this way today, when we have lost the BHMK and we face Apikorsim everyday and live in a land with so much Zenus???

Unknown said...

if we dont treat Torah with the proper respect and Kedusha, if we don't learn out of love for hash-m and as our obligation as Yidden, then it becomes, Chas Ve'Shalom, like a regular subject that one learns out of curiousity and interest!!!!!!!!!

The Rambam says in Hilchos Teshuva that a person who seperates themselves from the Tzibor, even though he does not do Aveiros, but is seperated from the general community, he doesn't do the Mitzvos with them and does not feel their pain and he doesn't fast with them, but goes along with the peoples of the world, like he's not a memeber of klal yisroel, he has no chelek in Olam Haba.

The first step of doing Teshuva is Charata- regret. In short, on must feel bad about commiting the sin, but more importantly, feel bad for having forsaken Hash-m.

The next step is to admit you did it(Vidoy)and daven to Hash-m. Pour out your heart and say exactly how you feel, what you think and what you need and daven to be answered.

The 3rd step is to just leave the sin-azivas hachet. (some say this is the 1st step b/c if one is still in the same environment or around what provokes them to sin, their Teshuva is Batul b/c they can still commit the sin afterwards.)Leave the purpose behind your sin somewhere else. don't place yourself in an area in which you feel like you are testing yourself and that you will like fail. (EVERYONE has a weakness, and discover yours and build it to a stregnth)

and the last step is to make amends and say to yourself and Hash-m you will not do it again- kabalas al ha'usid. (this is a difficult "promise" to make b/c we never know what the future holds, but we must do everything in OUR power to make sure we don't fall back into the Yetzer's trap and sin [make gedarim for ourselves]. The biggest way to accomplish these steps are to DAVEN wholeheartedly to Hash-m Yisbarach, our father in heaven.)

During elul, we increase our Yiras Shamayim. One of the things Amalek wanted to do to us was to cool us off so that we would no longer have any Yiras shamayim. In fact this is one of the things the Torah tells us about Amalek.

where is a good area one should consider REALLY doing Teshuva in especially in the upcoming days, the month of Elul??

Or what should be an areaone should be more careful in or be more stringent in?????

Anonymous said...

it is important to concentrate on both areas, teshuva and perfecting a midda. It is good general overhaul of everything but also pick one particular midda or mitzva and try to perfect it. Specifically, in the area one finds to be the weakest in and has a downfall in.

Anonymous said...

healthy guilt is good; unhealthy guilt is not. Healthy guilt brings us to Charata- regret which is a part of Teshuva process. Therefore one must utilize their guilt to bring them closer to Hash-m and a higher level of Teshuva, and not be nervous and feel bad about themselves. One must have a positive self-image.

There are no sins that are beyond Teshuva. Welearn in Sha'arei Teshuva that even Hir Hurei Teshuva-thoughts of repentence already lift one to a higher level.

Anonymous said...

there are 3 stages of doing Teshuva:
the first is to have just thoughts of Teshuva- regret
the second is to do Teshuva on a simplistic level- out of fera of punishment.
the third and highest level is to do Teshuva is out of love for HAsh-m. By davening wholeheartedly and turning ourselves into a new person, we can all achieve this level.

The Prophet Yishayahu says (6:10)- "they turn back in Teshuva and they will be healed."
R' Avigdor Miller, ztl, explains this to mean that the primary result of Teshuva, is healing from guilt. an aveiro is a illness of the Neshama and when we cry out to Hash-m and aske to be forgiven, we are healing our neshama. Fortunate is one who achieves healing in Olam Hazeh precluding the need for atonement in olam Haba.

the Beis Elokim's opinion is that if one does proper Teshuva, but in the future succumbs to his Yetzer Hora, his Teshuva is still Valid. It doesn't take away from the sincerity he had when he was asking Hash-m for forgiveness. Now he must make stronger gedarim and daven that he have more strgnth and continue to grow. one shouldn't give up and despair thinking he will fail in the future anyway.
Every step, tefilla or act of Teshuva is considered tremendous in the eyes of Hashe-m Yisborach; for now, Elul, He awaits for EVERYONE'S tefillos and Teshuvos!

when it comes to do Teshuva, one should never look back and think of all the misdeeds he has commited. he shouldnt be discouraged and say they've done too much, their list is too long. Rather, they should remember that Hash-m Yisborach awaits for one THOUGHT of teshuva, a bit of guilt, or some regret. In bereishis (19:17)- do not look behind you!" when it comes to Teshuva, always look at the future, think of the path you are choosing now and not the one you were on.

Unknown said...

when it comes to doing Teshuva, one should not put off for tomorrow what he can do today. We must act upon our actions quickly for 3 reasons:
if we don't do Teshvuva right away, we might keep pushing it off and eventually forget we ever committed a sin.
when we quickly run to do Teshuva, we protect ourselves from ANY punishment that is inevitable.
lastly, if we dont do Teshuva right away, one may fall into the Yetzer's trap and sin more severely- chazal teach us "aveiro goreres aveiro". we need to take advantage of these days bc Hash-m is closer and is waiting for us to return.

Anonymous said...

we are told that when we do Teshuva meYirah on an aveiro the action thatwe is erased and becomes but when we take Teshuva a step further and do it MeAhava, that action becomes a MITZVA!!!! how wonderous is HAsh-m's judgment and council!

Unknown said...

we learn "let the person who davens cast his eyes downward but his heart upward"- (yevamos 105). RAbbeinu Yona explains that when a person is davening, they should imagine that they are standing in heaven and must forget about all the worldly pleasures and material enjoyment.
