Repentance atones for all sin.

Even if one acted wicked all of their days and repented in their final moments, they will not be reminded of their wickedness, as it is written (Ezekiel 33:12): "The wickedness of the wicked will not cause him to stumble on the day he repents from his wickedness."

Yom Kippur itself atones for those who repent, as it is written (Leviticus 16:30): "For on this day you shall be atoned."

It is forbidden to be cruel and refuse to be appeased. A person should be easy to pacify and hard to anger, and when the one who wronged him asks forgiveness, he should forgive with a full heart and a willing spirit.

Whoever rebukes another should speak gently and softly, making clear that he speaks only for his good, to bring him to life in the World to Come. But one who shames another in public has no share in the World to Come.

How does one come to love and stand in awe of God? When a person contemplates His great and wondrous works and creations, and sees in them wisdom without measure or end, at once he loves and praises and longs with an immense longing to know the Great Name.

It is a positive commandment of the Torah to relate the miracles and wonders wrought for our ancestors in Egypt on the night of the 15th of Nissan, as it is written (Exodus 13:3): "Remember this day when you left Egypt," similar to the obligation (Exodus 20:8): "Remember the Sabbath day."

How do we know this is on the night of the 15th? This is taught by the words (Exodus 13:8): "And you shall tell your child on that day, saying: 'It is because of this..." which indicate it is to be done at the time when matzah and marror are placed before you.

This mitzvah applies even when one does not have a child to tell. Even wise sages who know it well are obligated to tell about the Exodus from Egypt. Whoever elaborates upon the events which transpired is worthy of praise.

It is better to increase in gifts to the poor than to increase the size of the Purim feast or food portions sent to friends. For there is no greater and more splendid joy than to gladden the hearts of the poor, the orphans, the widows, and the converts. One who gladdens the hearts of the downtrodden resembles the Divine Presence, which Isaiah (57:15) describes as always there "to revive the spirit of the lowly and the broken hearted."
