5. • # 4 rashi בינוניים-.מחצה על מחצה Should not be all that many
people exactly in the middle

• # 9 Rambam rules the 10 days teshuva is efficient even
for individuals, on Yom Kippur it is an obligation
• 10 a. –Rambam more good than bad tzadik
• 10 b- Ravaad will wicked finish their allotted days
• 10 c- have ten days to do teshuva – why only teshuva?
Do more good
• 10 d - one more sin or mitzvah breaks the tie
• 11a – lechem Mishna – why shouldn’t a “tie” save the
person? – it is a mitzvah to do teshuva - not doing
teshuva is one more sin which breaks the tie, similar
explanation in Abudraham
• 11b- R Yitzchak Blazer kochvai or page 146
10 days is
the time to do teshuva – G-d is near – not to take
advantage of this opportunity is spiritually
devastating, moshel of robbers in prison who
could escape based on reshit chochma #26
based on midrash in Kohelet Rabbah #25
• 11 c #18 emek bracha – judgment is Rosh hashana to
rosh hashana – mitzvah won’t help only teshuva,
6. • 11 d -#19 -Nodeh Beyehuda – even a Rasha can fix
himself – by saving the world!
• 11 e - chaim shmuelevetz in the name of saba
minvardok tluim vomdim – being mediocre is actually
cause for being found guilty –
• 11f #20 Pachad Yitzchak Rav Hutner see Rambam
beinoni is qualitative not quantitative mediocrity is the
sin which needs to be fixed one more mitzvah won’t
help – conceptual definition
• #12 Yerushami, rebbenu chananel - teshuva
• # 13, 14 לבנה קידוש
• #15
• yom kippur as tikkun – bahar –yovel – תקיעהגדולה
השמשות בין–לילה וגם יום גם–הלבנה מיעוט שבור עולם של זמן
