Description

The Ish Halacha has a unique definition of time in which past, present & future co-exist and influence one another. This is the conclusion derived from an understanding of the nature of Teshuva. Within the context of the scientific, causal definition of time, the past determines the future & there is no room for Teshuva. This discussion of the nature of time is an essential part of the Rav's presentation about man as a creative being which we will study later on. The man of Teshuva is involved in a process of creation in which he re-creates himself and transforms his very identity,
