Shalom. We are learning Tom Devor and now we are in chapter eight. This is the next quality of mercy of Hashem. And this is called Hashem will conceal our iniquities. Hashem will hide our sins. What does this mean? Um, Rabbi Miller says an introduction, the punishment for sin is limited. When a person makes a mistake, yes, Hashem is patient and he gives us a chance to do tou and if person doesn't, he receives a punishment. The punishment for sin is limited. In most cases, the judgment of the wicked in ginam is for 12 months. Sometimes it is less. The maximum that a normal person might spend in ginam in purgatory is 12 months. Some people 11 months, some 10, five, one, a minute, a few seconds. We hope that we can avoid gam entirely. But for that, we need to be uh perfect at least to do before we go to sleep. As soon as a person [clears throat] makes a mistake, he should do toua because we never know when we might have to leave this world. And therefore we should always be clean. And even if a person didn't have a chance to do to do teshua a complete tishuva and he will have to go through ginam the punishment for sin is limited the maximum of 12 months. But you have to keep in mind that the opposite is not the same. If a person does a mitzvah, the reward for a mitzvah is not limited. After a person who sinned goes to gay and is cleansed of all the stains on his nishama, the retribution comes to an end and then he goes to Ganedan where he is rewarded forever and ever.
