Repentance in Judaism
text:
Repentance is one element of atoning for sin in Judaism. Judaism recognizes that everybody sins on occasion, but that people can stop or minimize those occasions in the future by repenting for past transgressions. Thus, the primary purpose of repentance in Judaism is ethical self-transformation. Maimonides defines the essence of repentance as follows: A Jewish penitent is traditionally known as a baal teshuva.
