Welcome to today's Daily Rambam Thought.
In the vast ocean that is the Mishneh Torah, we dive into the laws of Teshuvah, the laws of repentance. The Rambam, Maimonides, offers us a profound yet simple insight: repentance is always within reach. No matter the time of year, no matter the place, and no matter the sin, the gates of Teshuvah are always open.
But what does it mean to truly repent? The Rambam tells us it's not merely about feeling sorry. It's about change. It's about standing in the same place where you once faltered, faced with the same temptations, and yet, you choose a different path. That is the measure of real Teshuvah.
Imagine, you're in a situation where you once spoke harshly to someone. Now, you're back in that heated moment, but this time, you hold your tongue, you offer a kind word. That's change. That's growth. That's the essence of what the Rambam is teaching us.
And why is this so relatable? Because every day, we're faced with choices. The choice to be kind or harsh, honest or deceitful, generous or stingy. The Rambam is reminding us that every choice is a chance to be better than we were yesterday. That's a message that transcends time and touches every one of us, every single day.
