The teaching
When is saying I'm sorry not enough? In this week's Torah portion, Ha’azinu, Moshe tells the people to set your heart to God's words.
As Yom Kippur approaches, that idea goes to the heart of Teshuva… repentance.
The Rambam teaches that true Teshuva requires more than just recognizing what we did wrong. We must regret our actions, turn away from them, and firmly resolve not to return to them.
In Tai Chi, Dong Jin, the understanding energy, means developing the ability to recognize what is happening, and understand how to respond.
Teshuva works the same way. Awareness begins the process, but true repentance means changing our direction, and resolving not to return to the same mistake. Learn more at TorahTaiChi.com.
