A wine stain on a pure white wedding gown is a tragedy, a wine stain on a pair of worn jeans is no big deal. In order to do Teshuva we have to view our soul as a pure white wedding gown and every stain (sin) is a disaster.

This is a really beautiful way to view Teshuva. Thank you so much for all your divrie Torah and chizuk on teshuva, With our hectic everyday lives it is hard to take the time out to do Teshuva, With so much going by Elul can slip by without utilizing the time. Yet Elul is really a gift. Your post are very helpful for me to appreciate that gift.
