1Yaaseh teshuva v’yashuv mecheito19“Yaaseh teshuva v’yashuv mecheito” what are these two things? Cheit often results from one’s center of gravity being hevel v’rik, and Rambam highlights overall orientation / preoccupation with hevel v’rik in multiple places as a problem. “yaaseh teshuva” from this preoccupation, then “v’yashuv mecheito” the specific aveiros.
2Teshuva & Viduy on D’Rabanans25:41Why doesn’t Rambam mention chiyuv teshuva on a d’rabanan? Derashos haRan – because for every aveira d’rabanan one is guilty of “lo sasur”. Alternatively, Rambam is saying that the chiddush in the passuk is the chiyuv viduy, and maybe on a d’rabanan there is no chiyuv viduy, but of course there is a chiyuv Teshuva on both d’Oraysa and d’rabanan.
