Repentance in the Bible (Teshuvah): Return and Forgiveness

Teshuvah means return, and the Tanach is full of people who found the way back. Over seven days, read the great repentance passages: Moshe promising that return is always within reach, the atonement service of Leviticus 16, Natan confronting King David, the confession of Psalm 51, Nineveh turning back in the book of Yonah, and Hosea's call of Shuva Yisrael, read as the haftarah of Shabbat Shuva. A study for anyone who has wondered whether it is too late to begin again.
