Teshuva is not erasing the past, it’s stepping into a new world!

Rabbi Shalom Landau שליט״א explains that every choice creates a split reality, one where you fall and one where you rise. Chazal say: “הקב״ה בונה עולמות ומחריבן”, Hashem builds worlds and erases them. That’s why the Rambam teaches that when a person truly returns, he becomes a different person entirely.

Geulah means Hashem already prepared the reset. You don’t destroy your story, you step into the version where you never ruined it. That’s the power of Teshuva.
