Maimonides writes that during these ten days, repentance and prayer are &#8220;most beautiful and are accepted immediately.&#8221; On the other hand, Shabbat is a day of joy and delight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The essence of Shabbat Shuva is that these two ideas\u2014repentance on the one hand and delight and joy on the other\u2014are united. This union is also hinted at in the weekly Torah portion, named &#8220;Vayelech,&#8221; meaning &#8220;And he went.&#8221; The meaning of &#8220;going&#8221; is leaving one&#8217;s current place and moving forward to another. This is the essence of teshuvah: a person leaves the state they were in before and steps into a new, different reality. As Maimonides describes, a penitent should feel as if they are &#8220;a different person and not the one who performed those acts.&#8221; Therefore, &#8220;Vayelech&#8221; is the work of repentance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This raises the question: How is it possible to combine these two seemingly contradictory feelings? After all, repentance, in which a person regrets their less-than-good deeds, should cause sadness and a bitter soul. So how can one simultaneously be in a state of great joy? Every commandment should be fulfilled with joy: &#8220;Serve G-d with joy.&#8221; What&#8217;s more, one should rejoice even more in repentance, because through it, all other commandments are repaired and made complete.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, there is no greater joy than the return of a person\u2014whether they are a Jew or a Noahide\u2014to their Father in Heaven. This is also relevant for Noahides, as repentance applies to them as well, as seen in the Book of Jonah, Chapter 3. There is a parable brought in the Tanya, of a prince who was a captive, working hard in the prison , and then went free to the house of his father the King. There is no greater joy than being freed from the control of one&#8217;s evil inclination. In the same way, when a person returns to G-d and re-cleaves to Him, it brings endless happiness and joy. It is a powerful metaphor for the spiritual journey of repentance. This is a higher form of repentance\u2014one that comes from immense joy. And from this joy, we reach the greatest joy of all\u2014the true and complete Redemption, immediately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Por el rabino Moshe Bernstein<\/strong><br><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Fuente:<\/strong>Sefer HaSichot (Book of Talks\/Discourses) 5749 (1989), Volume 1, page 4.
