Every Jew Needs To read this book. Rabbi Yaron Reuven says, reading Shaarei TeShuva in Chovot HaLevavot (Duties of the Heart) will help a person navigate their direction in life and fulfill their purpose. It's important to learn some basic things about TeShuva so we can be assured we're driving in the right direction in life and Olam HaBa, and not waste any of our priceless time in this world. Without learning about the mitzvot and the details of their associated laws, a person can't even begin real TeShuva, because without learning, they don't even know what sins they're committing.

0:02The Gate of Teshuvah, the Gate of Repentance, is a section of the book every Jew has to read multiple times because it not only will tell you things that are of paramount importance for you to know how you do the Teshuvah, if you're doing even the right thing or not, but also all of the issues we've discussed against the heretics are addressed here. Rabbi Lubachir says, what is the prerequisite to a person's teshuva, to a person's repentance? I say it's possible for him to do teshuva only after he knows the following seven things. One, he must clearly recognize the shamefulness of his deed. For if this is not clear to him, and he is in doubt or uninformed about it, it is not possible for him to have remorse or seek forgiveness for it. As it is written in Tehillim 51:5, "For I am aware of my transgressions, and my sin is ever before me." Meaning, for him to do teshuva, he has to be knowledgeable enough to know that what he did is wrong. And if he doesn't know what he did is wrong, then he hasn't done teshuva. I mean, even if he keeps Shabbat, keeps kosher, but he doesn't know that, let's just say, speaking bad about Talmidei Chachamim, there's not allowed. Or that stealing from his customers, even if they're non-Jews, there's not allowed. I don't know. But yeah, he's going to get rewarded for the Shabbat that he kept and the kosher that he kept, but in Shamayim, he hasn't completely done teshuva.
1:32then he hasn't done teshuva. I mean, even if he keeps Shabbat, keeps kosher, but he doesn't know that, let's just say, speaking badly about Talmidei Chachamim, is not halachically permissible. Or that stealing from his customers, even if they're non-Jews, is also not allowed. I don't know. But yeah, he's going to get rewarded for the Shabbat that he kept and the kosher that he kept, but in Shamayim, he hasn't completely done teshuva. He's going to get severely punished for whatever he did. Say, well, I hit you up. Yeah, but you're a thief. Yeah, but you're a... No, but I didn't know. Okay, so... Now you'll know.
