Marom. Someone recently presented him with a few of the sefarim, and he came
back to me scratching his head. He found himself in perek 10 of Urie Veyishi,
and takes the mechaber to mean, in the words of my friend, that even
after "<FONT color=#000000>Tshuvah Me'Ahavah, a person still needs to be
purged of his sins in Gehenom. The Baal Teshuavh will enjoy the pain
however, because of the realization of the ultimate
benefit.</FONT>"</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

fine grasp of the conventional and some non-conventional sefarim. He claims he
has never seen anything like it, and asked if I can find any source of this
shitah of R Yaakov Moshe Charlop.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
