DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:=0D=0A=
How can one change the past? How can one hope to change for the better in the future? Jewish tradition has given us the powerful tool of <i>teshuva</i>, repentance, as a way to return to the path we’d like to choose for ourselves. Examine the development of the idea of repentance. Begin with the Rabbis’ revolution of <i>teshuva</i>, replacing external sacrificial rites with internal repentance. Explore Maimonides’ belief in the possibility of radically changing oneself. Encounter the softer, more flexible Hasidic perspective of <i>teshuva</i> as self-acceptance. Finally, look at models of repentance in Christianity and Islam, comparing them to Judaism for some surprising insights.=0D=0A=
