One who sins makes an extra offering for atonement. The word used in this chapter is <\/span><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">kaper<\/span><\/em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, as in <\/span><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yom Kippur<\/span><\/em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, Day of Atonement. \u00a0God offers us chances to atone multiple times per year. The fact that God offers us times of atonement is also a recognition that we are going to need them, that we are definitely going to sin; to miss the mark in some way at sometimes. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">God recognizes the perfection in our imperfection here. It\u2019s as if She says, \u201cOffer to me at these times! Oh, and here is what to do when you don\u2019t.\u201d \u00a0There is no punishment, but an opportunity is bestowed. The sinner is asked to make an additional offering to God. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wrongdoing creates an opportunity to give God an extra gift. This is not an encouragement to sin, but rather an affirmation that we will indeed sin, and that when we do, we get to atone. \u00a0When wrongdoing occurs, guilt often arises in hindsight. Guilt is filled with wisdom; the feeling arises to remind us to atone; to remind us to make the wrongdoing into an offering. Instead, what so often happens is that we use the guilt to punish ourselves, we beat ourselves up and hide away in shame. \u00a0We treat ourselves as if we were supposed to be perfect, as if we were supposed to be flawless in our actions. Our Creator, however, knows well that we will sin, hence the myriad times to atone. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We strive to do good in the world, and part of that process is messing up, it\u2019s inevitable, we are wired to. Instead of beating ourselves up, can we embrace our imperfections? \u00a0Can we acknowledge the mistakes we have made and turn them into opportunities to make unique offerings to God?<\/span><\/p>\n","image":{"ID":48530,"id":48530,"title":"num28-cracks","filename":"num28-cracks.jpg","filesize":0,"url":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/num28-cracks.jpg","link":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/en\/offering-up-our-guilt\/num28-cracks\/","alt":"","author":"7","description":"","caption":"","name":"num28-cracks","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":48529,"date":"2019-01-30
