Rosh Hashanah and incomplete repentance
Rosh Hashanah: The Incomplete Repentance
From the Huffington Post
Rosh Hashanah is tonight and the buzz word throughout Jewish media and, of course, on the lips of rabbis everywhere, is repentance. As familiar as we all are with the word repentance, it is a difficult concept to truly wrap one's minds around."Repentance" sounds like a grand and powerful word.
