Rabbi Aryeh Lebowitz

And they point out, anything that's attached to the ground is like the ground, so the mask is attached to the ground, and therefore that is like seeing the ground of the Arabayis.

Furthermore, the greater symbol of destruction is seeing the actual mask, the actual dome on the Arabayis.

So I think that's the minig, that even if you just see the mask, that you tear a kriya.

Question number seven.

There is a famous concept

that on Yom Kippur our averos are transformed into zechuyos, provided that we did a proper tshuva.

Can Rabbi speak about this concept, what it means and what it doesn't?

Could it be that someone with more averos than someone else before Yom Kippur will end up with more zechuyos afterwards?

So just to clarify, it's a slight misquote of the concept.

the way it's presented in the question.

It's not talking about Yom Kippur.

It's talking about tshuva.

So the gemara says, And the gemara says, I thought tshuva was so great that your averos turned into mitzvos.

So the gemara says, That if a person does tshuva meyira, the averos that they did bemezer become

like Shkogos, and if you do tshuva me'ahava, the Haveros that you did b'mezid, become like Zuchuyos.

So it's not about Yom Kippur, it's about tshuva me'ahava.

But the question still stands, I mean, is that not fair?

A person is going to spend his whole life doing nothing but mitzvos, and then someone else does Haveros his whole life, does tshuva me'ahava, and right away, all of his Haveros turn into mitzvos, and he's got more mitzvos than the guy who's been doing mitzvos his whole life.

So the Marsha is bothered by this question, and the Marsha says that when you do Chuvah Me'ava, you must have done full Chuvah.

He says that it doesn't mean that the Averos that you have done becomes a Chuvah Me'ava.
