[Avodah] WHAT DOES KAPARAH ACCOMPLISH?

[Brent Kaufman]

WHAT DOES KAPARAH ACCOMPLISH?

We need to differentiate between Kaparah, which is translated as atonement,
and Slichah and Mechilah, which mean forgiveness.
Forgiveness means that the One/one offended by the transgression no longer
harbors animosity towards the transgressor for what was done.
However, even after forgiveness is given/attained there is still spiritual
damage caused by the transgression, to the soul of the sinner.
Kaparah/atonement is the removal of that spiritual damage that was done to
the soul. That is what Kaparah accomplishes.
