Teshuvah in Hebrew means to repent and chet means to sin. Looking deeper into the etymology and literal meanings of these words, a more nuanced story emerges.
In the Torah, chet appears in reference to a slingshot that “missed the target.” And Teshuva itself literally means to “return.”
Four Steps to Teshuva, Reframed:
- Acknowledge your disappointemts (formally, regret)
- Pause and reflect (formally, cessation)
- Recognition of the story (formally, confession)
- Intension setting (formally, resolution)
