Repentance: It’s Easier Than You Think; It’s Harder Than You Imagine
On Shabbat morning, September 17, we welcomed Prof. Louis E. Newman to the congregation. During services, which began at 9:30 AM, he spoke on the topic of “Repentance: It’s Easier Than You Think; It’s Harder Than You Imagine.” Teshuvah, Repentance, is the key theme of Rosh HaShanah and Yom Kippur, a prerequisite for beginning a truly new year. Prof. Newman is uniquely qualified to help us understand what teshuvah is, and how we can do it during this season. He is the author of Repentance: The Meaning and Practice of Teshuvah which was published last year by Jewish Lights Publishing. If you weren't able to attend the service, you can see a video of it below.
