Machshava:

Teshuva 

Collections: Rabbi Weinberger: Oros Ha'teshuvah

Description

We alone are responsible for all our actions. Collective auto biography of the teenage world is- it is not my fault. Essence of our free choice is that if we don't want to do it- don't do it. We should draw our strength from the source of knowledge which is the ratzon (will) of Hashem which is Torah. Classic contradiction between free choice and Divine Providence is only a contradiction because of our finite perceptions. There is no bigger contradiction than a Chosson and kallah. Niggun can bring together all opposite forces. Upon doing teshuvah all the deficiencies of our life are retroactively transferred to Hashem's account and they are transformed into mitzvahs. Teshuvah fills us with joy beyond belief.
