Yom Kippur Thoughts: Sinning and Returning, Sinning and Returning

Improvised rules of Chazal and Genies, Current Events, and What Forgiveness Does in a Community, for Good and for Ill

Mishnah Yoma 8:9

האומר: אחטא ואשוב, אחטא ואשוב, אין מספיקין בידו לעשות תשובה.

אחטא ויום הכיפורים מכפר, אין יום הכיפורים מכפר

One who says “I will sin and I will return, I will sin and I will return, there is not enough in his hand to do Teshuva.

“I will sin and Yom Kippur will atone”, Yom Kippur will not atone.
