Joy of Teshuva

The idea of “doing Teshuva” is often a daunting one. This can make the process of Elul and Tishrei seem overwhelming. Join Rabbi Dr. Zvi Leshem and explore a wide range of sources from Hasidism and Rav Kook, as we look to examine alternative approaches to Teshuva and hopefully traverse this special time more positively.
