Is Teshuvah—repentance—actually one of the 613 mitzvot? In this deep dive into the Rambam's Sefer HaMitzvot and Mishneh Torah, we explore why the mitzvah of confession (vidui) is listed, but Teshuvah itself seems missing. Discover three major opinions from Torah scholars and how Teshuvah functions not just as a mitzvah, but as spiritual restoration.
Learn how Teshuvah can rebuild the soul, why it must come from the heart, and how it connects to our divine mission after receiving the Torah on Shavuot. This video will challenge the way you think about sin, return, and the true power of inner transformation.
