OPINION &
COMMENT
The Road To Repentance — A Selection Of Thoughts And
Practical Guidance for Aseres Yemei Teshuvoh From HaRav Shach
zt'l
Everyone Must Undertake to Improve, Especially With Regard
to Torah
Everyone must leave with the resolution to improve, to make
some undertaking, to realize that Rosh Hashonoh and Yom
Kippur are approaching and to come "before Hashem" with at
least something small in hand. When one has an audience with
a minister, one looks for a small gift to take with and give
him, as a means of entering into discussion.
