Questions for today:
What does G-d’s forgiveness tell us about our relationship?
Today, we begin the third book of Tanya.
This book describes how our relationship with the Creator is such that we could never sever it.
By way of introduction. The conclusion to the Passover Haggada is a statement that God created a ‘house of ‘choice’’, the Holy Temple, that forgives all of our sins.
Because the culmination of this loving story, of how G-d took us out of slavery is that our relationship is not based on any contract, it’s a Choice. Nothing that we do will ever turn it off.
At the same time, our relationship with the Creator is very personal. Therefore, there are different ways that we express it.
If someone violates a positive commandment, the process of repairing that is quick, but we'll never have that opportunity again.
If someone violates a negative commandment - our soul is also on high. Even though we're forgiven right away, the blemish is also in the heavenly aspect of our Soul. It will take Yom Kippur, when we're on that level, to be able to fix it.
If somebody uses their G-d given ability to affect our very life force by violating a capital offence, all that will work, but there will also need to be a cleansing process.

Tanya book 3, Ch 1, Pt 1
Today, Today we begin the third book of the Tanya that explains returning to the Creator - an expression of the fact that nothing that we do can G-d forbid sever our unity with the Creator.
This is because our connection to the Creator is an essential connection.
At the same time, the relationship permeates us internally. Therefore, there are different ways to reveal it, depending on if a person violates; a positive commandment, a negative commandment, or a capital offense.
