well here's another yum Kipper coming upon us the most holy day of the year well shabas might be as holy uh both sort of uh neck and neck in Holiness as far as Holiness is concerned but it's very special day once a year coming and we know the highlight of yipper is chuva repentance the word Chua means returning might to return to God what we do the wrong thing it's like going astray away from him when we do chuva coming back to him how do we do chuva Chua are three main points of Chua one's called remorse feel bad for the wrongs that we did Caba means we take upon ourselves to be better and do our actions in a way that are appropriate for a Jewish person and V the third step is confession of sh to confess to God that we sinned once we do these three steps we accepted by God as B chuva and he gives his love back to us like it was before we sinned but one thing we have to remember about chuva that just to say I won't do it anymore doesn't mean too much because we know every ker we come back again God forgive me I won't do it anymore and then we walk out of sh and we do it again we do it again every keeper the same thing we have to see to it that we make sure that we don't go back to the same thing we have to make sure that if we do something wrong is sin we should make sure that we don't allow ourselves to be in the same situation that causes to sin before if we know answering the telephone now we know who's on the phone and they're always gossiping don't answer the phone because you know what going to happen don't sit down amongst people who gossip you know you'll be pulled into it find an excuse you have something to do instead and so it is by every type of CH that we do we have to look for ways not to have to fight head on with the with we want to try to avoid the confrontation don't walk down the street if you just started eating kosher and go by the place where they s uh tempting non kosher food take the other path don't go by this is how we can do real chuva and be accepted by God as real Jews who want to do his will and will have a great success wither and a great year afterwards so we wish everybody a a full repentance and wonderful year and everything good for
