Course Description

It is well known that there are three different aspects to Teshuva: between man and God (bein adam l'Makom), between man and man (bein adam l'chaveiro), and between man and self (bein adam l'atzmo). In some senses, it is "easier" to do teshuva for sins between man and God, for these sins, we are told, are atoned for at Yom Kippur. Sins committed between man and man, however, are not atoned for at Yom Kippur unless forgiveness is first granted by the offended party. As such, in this class we will look at some of the issues involved in doing teshuva bein adam l'chaveiro and how teshuva bein adam l'atzmo is a foundation for this.  Please note: this shiur is for women only.
