On Teshuva

"Rabeinu Yonah called repentance a sanctuary, a place to escape the intensity of sin. It is also the place to embrace the strength needed to fight our hardest inner battles and our stubborn resistance to change.

By calling repentance a sanctuary, Rabeinu Yonah in Sha'arei Teshuva transformed an act into a space we can step into and know that we are home, and we are safe."
