Rabbi Yirmiyahu Ullman - Orchot Tzaddikim: Remorse

What’s said in this shiur

The opening of this shiur, in Rabbi Dovid Orlofsky’s own words — taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.

the Gate of remorse a harata he should always say Adam Devar Jose um a person does something and then he retracts from it and he regrets having done it it's a very straight correct proper approach having to do with chuva kimisha um um somebody who transgresses and then retracts regrets what he's done it's as if he doesn't transgress no it's not as simple as that of course if the transgression was stealing from somebody it's not going to help to say I'm sorry you've got to make restitution and pay the person back but if a person transgresses something between he and Hashem and he truly regrets so Hashem accepts that regrets so Hashem accepts that and clears the person's slate via Charlotte it's impossible to fill the Mitzvah of chuva without harata without regret for having done this a person can't really do chuva I mean and it's not enough to say I'm sorry I feel bad about it if you're not sorry and you don't feel bad about it but a person truly feels bad and regrets having done this then that's the that's the precursor for for chuva without the precursor for for chuva without which it's a non-starter is he'll never be forgiven for his transgressions if he doesn't have regret over having done them he can bring all the sacrifices in the world if it's not accompanied by chuva it's not going to help and he can pay lip service to Hashem from the morning until the evening but if it doesn't mean it it's just empty speech
