Vidui: Self-Transformation through Honesty
Learn with Dr. Eliezer Diamond, Rabbi Judah Nadich Associate Professor of Talmud and Rabbinics, JTS, at the Community Beit Midrash Fall Kickoff.
Vidui is an essential—according to Rambam, the essential—element of the teshuvah process. We will examine its transformative power drawing on rabbinic wisdom and insights from psychology and twelve step programs. In particular we will look at its dual role of challenging and comforting us.
