The first step of doing Teshuva is Charata- regret. In short, on must feel bad about commiting the sin, but more importantly, feel bad for having forsaken Hash-m.
The next step is to admit you did it(Vidoy)and daven to Hash-m. Pour out your heart and say exactly how you feel, what you think and what you need and daven to be answered.
The 3rd step is to just leave the sin-azivas hachet. (some say this is the 1st step b/c if one is still in the same environment or around what provokes them to sin, their Teshuva is Batul b/c they can still commit the sin afterwards.)Leave the purpose behind your sin somewhere else. don't place yourself in an area in which you feel like you are testing yourself and that you will like fail. (EVERYONE has a weakness, and discover yours and build it to a stregnth)
and the last step is to make amends and say to yourself and Hash-m you will not do it again- kabalas al ha'usid. (this is a difficult "promise" to make b/c we never know what the future holds, but we must do everything in OUR power to make sure we don't fall back into the Yetzer's trap and sin [make gedarim for ourselves]. The biggest way to accomplish these steps are to DAVEN wholeheartedly to Hash-m Yisbarach, our father in heaven.)
There are no sins that are beyond Teshuva. Welearn in Sha'arei Teshuva that even Hir Hurei Teshuva-thoughts of repentence already lift one to a higher level.
there are 3 stages of doing Teshuva:
the first is to have just thoughts of Teshuva- regret
the second is to do Teshuva on a simplistic level- out of fera of punishment.
the third and highest level is to do Teshuva is out of love for HAsh-m. By davening wholeheartedly and turning ourselves into a new person, we can all achieve this level.
Teshuva is cumulative. For every moment one does teshuva, it is added to a sumtotal to add Kaparos.
Lashon Hara is forbidden to everyone- even to one's relatives, including one's husband or wife.
-Chafetz chaim
a person who regularly speaks Lashon Hara is considereda Ba'al Lashon hara.
-Chofetz Chaim
if someone wants to judge his friend favorably, the Chofetz Chaim says he will always find a way to do it.
we begin Saying Ledovid Hash-m from Rosh Chodesh Elul. The Tefilla can be be found in any Tehillim perek 27 or at the end of Aleinu L'shabe'ach (Shachris or mincha or Maariv).
Rosh chodesh elul is Sunday aug 31 and Monday sept 1st
the high Holodays- Rosh Hashana Begins on:
MOND -SEPT 29th at Sunset and continues on tues- SEPT 30 and wednesday- OCT 1ST
and Yom Kippur begins on wed. OCT 8at sunset.
R’ Noach of Lechovitch once said, “worrying is a sin.”
R’ Nachman of Breslov once said, “whoever speaks malicious words will fall into poverty.”
R’ Nachman of Breslov once said. “talking is the vessel through which Hash-m’s abundance is received.
A Tikun for Lashon Hara is studying Torah enthusiastically, serving Hash-m from the heart and speaking the truth.”- R’ Nachman
R’ Pinchas said, “don’t be satisfied with just appealing to a person to repent. HELP him!”
R’ Rafael of Bershid said, “Don’t see the evil in everyone else and the good in yourself; see the good in everyone else and the evil in yourself.”
The Trisker Rav once said, “Hash-m’s seal is true. If you tell a lie, you are guilty of forging His seal.
