Rabbi Baruch Bodenheim: Sugya – Vidui – Monday night shiur – Tishrei 8 (09/29/25)

We will be learning the Sugya of Vidui tonight in preparation for Yom Kippur 

Learn רמב”ם ה’ תשובה פרק א הלכה א who says the mitzvah of Teshuva is to say Vidui

Learn רמב”ן פ’ נצבים ל:יא-יד who learns the mitzvah of Teshuva from a pasuk in Sefer Devarim and the obligation to say vidui from the words “its in your mouth and heart ot do”

https://hebrewbooks.org/pdfpager.aspx?req=9617&st=&pgnum=377

See the header introductory line of the Rambam of ה’ תשובה פרק א 

See משך חכמה פרשת וילך לא:יז “ואמר who asks why should there be a specific mitzvah of Teshuva if one is required to stop and not commit the sin again because of the original command in the torah?

Learn And רמב”ם ה’ תשובה פרק ב הלכה ז

https://hebrewbooks.org/pdfpager.aspx?req=39979&st=&pgnum=120

Why is there a specific mitzvah to say vidui either Erev YK or on YK differently than anytime of the year when one wants to do Teshuva?

See the words of Ashamnu 

Why are we not specifying any aveiros?

Learn גמרא יומא דף פו: “וצריך לפרוט החטא (middle of the wide lines) until אלא  

See שולחן ערוך ס’ תר”ז סע ב

https://hebrewbooks.org/pdfpager.aspx?req=60391&st=&pgnum=148

https://hebrewbooks.org/pdfpager.aspx?req=60391&st=&pgnum=149

Learn רמב”ם ה’ תשובה פרק ב הלכה ג 

https://hebrewbooks.org/pdfpager.aspx?req=39979&st=&pgnum=119

Why does the Gemara compare reciting vidui to immersing in a mikvah?

It seems saying Vidui without stopping to commit the aviera is considered worthless. Why does the Gemara compare reciting vidui to immersing in a mikvah which indicates there is some purification process?
