Teshuvah
Teshuvah is a Hebrew term that translates to "return" and refers to the process of repentance in Jewish tradition. It involves recognizing one's mistakes, feeling remorse, and making a commitment to change one's behavior. This practice is especially emphasized during the High Holidays, particularly Yom Kippur, when individuals reflect on their actions over the past year and seek forgiveness from both God and those they may have wronged.
The process of Teshuvah typically includes four key steps: acknowledging the wrongdoing, feeling genuine regret, making amends, and resolving not to repeat the offense. It is seen as a way to restore one's relationship with God and the community, promoting personal growth and spiritual renewal.
