„Delaying repentance, each moment in itself, is a distinct sin.”

„Delaying repentance, each moment in itself, is a distinct sin.”From Orot HaTeshuvah, 14, 32

The Rav teaches us that the postponement of repentance is a great sin, from the root meaning "missing the mark."

A person who understands the greatness of repentance knows that every moment we delay in doing it is a moment of missed opportunity. We could have gained something immense, and we missed it - is that not a pity?

A wonderful evening to all!

For the recovery of my dear wife.
