In this episode, we delve deep into the profound lessons of Teshuva, drawing from the teachings of Chazal and Rabbeinu Yonah. Discover how, like the mitzvah of 'Titharu' on Yom Kippur, the journey of Teshuva begins with a small yet committed turnaround. From the first step of acceptance to the ultimate transformation, this process teaches us how to distance ourselves from our past mistakes—like the distance from east to west.

We explore the wisdom behind gradual, systematic self-improvement through Cheshbon Hanefesh (soul accounting) and practical methods for dealing with personal struggles, such as anger. Through the teachings of Mesillas Yesharim, learn how to create realistic goals, track progress, and make meaningful change that lasts beyond Yom Kippur.
