The Hardest Word to Pronounce

TAVO The Hardest Word to Pronounce We live in a generation that does not admit to mistakes. Therefore, we must elaborate on one of the fundamental principles of the mitzvah of repentance: the recognition that I am responsible! The understanding that I am responsible for my choices. Responsibility means that no force in the world – external or internal – can make me do something I do not want to do, and if I did something, it is because this is the place where I am comfortable being. This understanding does not weaken but, on the contrary, grants immense power to correct. It keeps control in my hands and says that if I made a mistake, I will also know how to rise and change. On the other hand, the opposite perception, which attributes my actions to others, ties me to the actions of others and eternally entangles me in the cycle of sin.
