תלמוד בבלי מסכת יומא דף פו עמוד ב
Rabbi Meir said, "Great is repentance, because for the sake of one who truly repents, the whole world is pardoned.” [Translation by Areyvut]
Suggested Discussion Questions:
1. What is repentance? Why does Rabbi Meir grant it so much power?
2. In what ways could a sinner's repentance today pardon the whole world? Can you think of any examples?
Time Period: Rabbinic (Maccabees through the Talmud)
