Messianic Torah Observant Israel

In the original languages of Hebrew and Greek, the meaning of the word ‘repentance’ is fundamentally the same: to turn around, or to turn back. Being a vital element of a relationship with the Creator, Elohim grants the gift of repentance to those He chooses. Within that gift of repentance is a sense of remorse and regret. When repentance is from a sincere heart, the relationship is restored.

Rabbi Steve Berkson teaches the deep and sometimes hidden meaning of repentance and all it involves.
