True repentance involves efforts at spiritual transcendence
From the teachings of the Lubavitcher Rebbe; adapted by Moshe Yaakov Wisnefsky
We must perform the commandment of teshuva (repentance) with all our heart and soul. One must now transcend his normal, operative self that allowed him to sin and seek a deeper, more essential layer of his identity where G-d means more to him than the indulgences to which he has become accustomed.
From the teachings of the Lubavitcher Rebbe; adapted by Moshe Yaakov Wisnefsky
The Sabbatical Year teaches us three primary lessons and the septennial
assembly ceremony at the beginning of the following year is meant
to carry these lessons from the Sabbatical Year into our mundane lives.
