Who Needs TeShuva Before Rosh HaShana (Netive Ezra-Aventura)

7 years ago

Rabbi Yaron Reuven discusses the importance of teshuva before Rosh HaShanah. He uses the analogy of counting sheep to explain how we must remove all barriers and yetzer hara in order to truly succeed in teshuva. He emphasizes that teshuva is a daily process, not something to be done only once a year. Rabbi Reuven further explores the significance of Shabbat as a gift from HaShem, highlighting how it allows us to experience a taste of Olam Haba. He argues that Shabbat is not simply a time for relaxation but a profound spiritual experience that should be approached with reverence and dedication. He shares his personal story of struggling with physical pain and illness for seven years, illustrating how even when we face seemingly insurmountable challenges, HaShem is always working for our benefit. Rabbi Reuven stresses that we should never think that we are exempt from the divine system or that we have free choice in the true sense of the word. We have choices, but they always come with consequences. He concludes by emphasizing the importance of teshuva as a continuous process, urging his listeners to make teshuva every day, not just before Rosh HaShanah.
