The Repair

„The image of repentance transforms all the iniquities and their terrors, their spiritual sufferings and their ugliness, into concepts of delight and contentment of spirit.”From Orot HaTeshuvah VII, 1

When we deepen the work of our repair, when it turns from a passing thought into a planned and detailed image, we bring forth from ourselves something new. And thus the terrible corruption turns into an unprecedented opportunity. And the immense difficulty can build new levels within us.
