God’s forgiveness and change day
The feast of forgiveness and its meaning explained by Rabbi Tzvi Grunblatt. Rabbi Tzvi Grunblatt, national director of Chabad Lubavitch Argentina, said in dialogue with the Jewish Agency for News (AJN) that “Yom Kippur is the day when God forgives all and you have to do teshuvah (repentance): tap your finger everything you want to change and change, so that when next year rolls can say: ‘so I started, I kept it all year.’ “Teshuvah is the time for reflection of the people to purify themselves through confession, which cleans, washes, purifies and brings light,” he added.

The priest said that “the first step of repentance is to acknowledge that one sin, shame before God and take responsibility for all the faults because he knows that the only guilty one is, I had the opportunity to do one thing and not made by ‘lazy’ or whatever. “
Regarding the “Vidui” (confession), Grunblatt clarified that “Kippur we read, but not to say magic words and we’re deleting is not a washing machine” and warned that “teshuvah does not help when the person confesses, but not repents. “
“What a small person is not the end of the world, the most important thing is what happens after thought, because you can not step on the stick for a fool,” he said.
The national director of Chabad Lubavitch Argentina said that “a person has free will to manage its natural features-there are people who are passionate, some people are more coldly,” but “the man has to know who is responsible for change , that is the first step of teshuvah. “

“A diamond can not be polished in a day, but with the constant work every day,” parangonó, after emphasizing that “it is from how easy it can change, that is the high cost paid to overcome.”
In the process necessary to “go to the end and not be allowed to get angry or lose control, just pretend to need: for the son or the employee sees that ‘screwed’,” advised Grunblatt.
After repentance “come clean and apologize for what was done specifically” but “in a case of force majeure, which does not depend on one, one is not responsible.”
“It’s like the Talmud says, until you release the unclean reptile, can not speak of purification”, citing religious, adding that “there is a pasuk (verse) that says ‘the truth grows from the earth'; you have to plant to grow true, then a person who lies to himself can not build. “
Grunblatt warned that “people are the fools, God sure did not.”
“We are all human beings, with our pressures and weaknesses, and sometimes a good friend with whom one can confide because, as the pasuk says, is preferable coup friend kissing the enemy, and not because he says he needs the truth is a bad friend, but that is the only way to grow, “he suggested.
Confession and clemency request are performed in public, in the synagogue, because “when you’re alone, you’re locked in yours and you have no way to overcome those weaknesses if you are not with others who have the strength,” taught Rabbi.
Regarding the ritual, Grunblatt said “Yom Kippur is the only time in the year when there are five prayers -Arvit (evening), Shacharit (morning), Musaf (at noon), Mincha (afternoon) and Neila (before dark) - “because” Shabbat is four weekdays and three. “
That quintet “Kabbalah says that corresponds to the five levels of the soul: action, emotion, reason, will and pleasure.”
“It’s the connection with God at all levels of the person: does a mitzvah (commandment); if he climbed over, develops a feeling; at a higher level also achieves compression; if it goes up more willpower has; and then comes the essence, which is the pleasure, “lectured the religious.
Furthermore, “in every prayer of confession twice, once silently and once in the service, for purification in all capacities of the soul it is said”, he added.
Grunblatt acknowledged that “teshuvah do in a moment because, in essence, man is good and the soul of a Jew is full all the time.”
“When a person does teshuvah must have the confidence that God forgives him and feel inner peace” proposed the rabbi.
Towards the end of the day, “when it ends Yom Kippur, it is written in the Midrash that voice comes and says, ‘Man, go and eat with joy your bread because God forgives'” and that “a great meal becomes a holiday in which we celebrate that we are pure “, she said.
Finally, Grunblatt wished that “God willing, this Yom Kippur we find more white and pure, with specific decisions, because the day of greatest pleasure is one in which you can reflect and correct.”
The fast of Yom Kippur begins Friday evening and ends with Saturday evening.
