In this shiur, we explore Rav Kook’s profound teaching that true teshuva begins with self-knowledge. 🌱

We need to have a sense of self in order to draw close to Hashem.

When we bypass our personalities and souls, we fall into false teshuva.

Remember: at our core, we are truly a neshama.

Every person has a Nekudah Tova — a unique point of goodness that cannot be lost.

By discovering our true self, we uncover our soul’s light — and this is the foundation of real teshuva. Rav Kook teaches that when individuals return to themselves, the world is uplifted, paving the way toward geulah and Mashiach.

✨ Join us as we journey into Orot HaTeshuva and discover how finding yourself is the first step in finding God.
