Shabbat Table Topics – Parashat Vayelekh

Does Repentance Always Bring Forgiveness?

Do confession and repentance necessarily bring atonement in their wake? In Devarim 30, Hashem implies that they do, promising that if we return to Him, He will return to us, have mercy, and return the people from exile.

How is it that Hashem rejects the nation's repentance?
