The term “Teshuvah” is often translated as repentance. However a more accurate translation is “returning”. The term Teshuvah is not only used by our Sages to describe a state of mind when we wish to repar some misdeed, but it is also also used to describe a higher state of spiritual consciousness than we had previously attained.

The Divine Providence and I
The Purpose of Creation seems remote from us. Even though we may understand intellectually that God’s ultimate purpose is to give us pleasure ,this is so far removed from our everyday experience that it seems irrelevant.
