The Teshuvah of Rabbi Zusha of Anipoli
Rabbi Zusha of Anipoli, the tzadik beloved by the entire Jewish people, taught that teshuvah
תשובה – is an acronym for five guiding principles:
ת - “Be wholehearted with the L-rd, your G-d” (תמים תהיה עם ה’ אלקך)
ש - “I place the L-rd before me always” (שויתי ה’ לנגדי תמיד);
ו - “Love your fellow as yourself” (ואהבת לרעך כמוך);
ב - “Know Him in all your ways” (בכל דרכיך דעהו);
ה - “Walk humbly with the L-rd, your G-d” (לכת עם ה’ אלקך הצנע).
This may be compared with the other well-known, widely accepted acronym mentioned in the book “Reshit Chochmah” in the name of the Ari:
(תענית ,שק ואפר ,בכי ,הספד) – fasting, sackcloth and ashes, tears, and mourning the deceased:
תענית - fasting;
שק ואפר - sackcloth and ashes;
בכי - tears;
הספד - mourning the deceased.
