Jewish women talking about Torah and the lived experience of our Judaism.

Teshuvah: Self-Construction or Self-Acceptance?

Is Teshuvah a return to an untouched state of purity, or an acceptance of the past mistakes and experiences that have led us to where we are today?

A deeply moving teaching from Rav Tzadok of Lublin about the conversation between growth and self-acceptance in the journey of Teshuvah, and on how the darker parts of our journey are the most generative parts, too.
