„...through repentance love returns to shine. (Orot HaTeshuvah...”
A person who sins misses in some way the reality around him. Something is damaged in the very act that he did. And this damage causes a deficiency, and the deficiency is felt in his surroundings, in his deeds, and in his conduct.
When a person decides to repent, to be better in the place where he was damaged, he decides to raise himself up from the very evil deed. In the very will, he returns to shine and to be better. Repentance brings us to a reconciliation with reality, to a higher place before the world in which we live and before all of humanity.
