Maybe too much time has passed. Maybe I missed the opportunity. Maybe this is just who I am, and part of growing up is learning to accept it.\nBut what if Yom Kippur asks us to question some of those conclusions?\nIn this shiur, Rav Shlomo Katz and the women of Shirat David learn an extraordinary piece from Rav Adin Steinsaltz built around one of the deepest ideas in Chazal: teshuvah existed before the world was created. And if time, space, and all the normal rules of this world came afterward, then there is something about teshuvah that simply does not play by those rules. \nWe explore why our souls came down into this world in the first place, what it means to “raise the heavens,” and a vision of teshuvah that goes far beyond regretting our aveiros. What about the mitzvos we did that could have been so much more? The opportunities we were afraid to take? The years and moments we still look back on and wish had gone differently?  \nRav Steinsaltz gives us a radically different way of entering Yom Kippur: not simply trying to clean up what went wrong, but discovering that through a connection to the Infinite, even the places we thought were finished can somehow be lifted.\nMaybe Yom Kippur isn't the day to make peace with what is impossible.\nMaybe it's the one day of the year to ask whether it was ever really impossible at all. \n  \n-------\nFor more Shuirim and Music from Rav Shlomo Katz, visit: https://ravshlomokatz.com\nJoin Rav Shlomo Katz's WhatsApp Community: https://chat.whatsapp.com/KHKOhhPaeHx5Kb74WL9L9a?mode=ems_copy_t\nChapters\n00:00 Opening Sponsorship & Yom Kippur\n03:18 My Rav Steinsaltz Airport Story\n05:35 Acceptance and the Primacy of Teshuvah\n08:22 Hebrew, English & Opening Our Hearts\n11:38 Why Did the Soul Descend to This World?\n13:17 Raising the Heavens: The Soul's Purpose\n19:41 Teshuvah Beyond Time and Space\n22:02 Rav Steinsaltz on the Full...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/dNqUo-qOoDo2t4-tOUFv7-9wy03-Ot-XjLq2ycCrvQA/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS8zOWZj/NmYxOTE5NWQ5MmMx/MWNlYTIzNmEwNDY4/YmExZS5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
