## Resource

See today's text here ! In this episode of The Daily Derech , Rabbi Marcus Rubenstein explores Parashat Devarim, Hilchot Tefillah, and a teaching from Shaarei Teshuvah about the importance of sincere repentance and remembering past mistakes. Drawing on Ibn Ezra, Rabbi Rubenstein explains that the prohibition against making images of God protects the truth of the Sinai revelation, where no physical form was seen. Creating false images distances a person from reality and ultimately harms both faith and character. The Rambam explains that Shacharit, Minchah, and Musaf correspond to the Temple sacrifices, while Ma'ariv developed as a widely accepted custom that became treated as obligatory within Jewish practice. Shaarei Teshuvah teaches that delaying repentance weakens a person's resolve. Healthy regret and remembering the pain of past sins help prevent repeating mistakes, transforming remorse into a source of spiritual growth and renewed commitment.
