What happens when you do teshuva (repentance)





SimchaMinute

A quotation-a-day by Rabbi Avigdor Miller

When talk about repenting and doing teshuva... we’re not talking merely about righting some wrongs that a person did... When we talk about teshuva, we talk about "Vshuvu ad Hashem — To return to Hashem"...

Teshuva really means to come to Hashem and to gain certain qualities, certain attitudes, and certain practices that were never done before in one’s life. Teshuva actually means to get better. — Easy Road to Teshuva (#524)

Chovos Halevavos has become the foundation for Jews in their service of Hashem. Great Torah luminaries, e.g. Rabbi Yosef Karo, Rabbi Yitzchak Luria, the Vilna Gaon and Rabbi Elimelech of Lizhensk immersed themselves in the sefer and encouraged others to do likewise. Simchas Hachaim Publishing is publishing Chovos Halevavos with Rabbi Avigdor Miller’s insights.
