Torah Online - Rabbi Tuvia Bolton

Although this week’s Torah portion is the longest in the book, it contains only 18 commandments and one of them is the commandment of confessing sins to G-d.

According to Judaism almost any sin can be fixed by genuine repentance and confession. But interestingly there is no commandment to repent - only to confess!!!

This, of course is very misleading. Confession without regret is not only worthless it is exactly what brought a person to sin in the first place!!...

...one of the main accomplishments of Moshiach: to bring all the Jewish people back to learning Torah and fulfilling its commandments. (One of the definitions of ‘Tshuva’ is to ‘Return’ to G-d what we owe Him).

Then the entire world will rejoice even more than Reb Yitzchak did in our story. The Jews return to Israel, the Holy Temple will return to Jerusalem and even the dead will return to life.

Just one more good deed, word or even thought on our part can make it happen and bring …

Moshiach NOW!

"...this is the Holiday of Shavuot that we have been celebrating for over 3,320 years: That G-d actually spoke to ALL the people and ALL the people actually did His commandments..."
