Hashem yearns for our love. He covers up our sins in the hope that we
will repent. Only after one has exceeded the limit of sin, is he punished.
Why were the paths to the cities of refuge publicized, whereas the paths
to the holy city of Yerushalayim, the center of the world, where we were
commanded to ascend three times a year, were not? The kedushah of
Yerushalayim is felt by the heart of every Jew. Whoever wishes to ascend
can simply follow the stirrings of his heart. We do not need signs to point
us to Yerushalayim.
Just as the road to Yerushalayim was known to all, so is the road to
teshuvah. Therefore, no one can exempt himself from the command to do
teshuvah, claiming he does not know the way.
One should fear his sins as one fears a lion crouching outside his front
door. He should hurry to do teshuvah as soon as possible, so that he does
not, chalilah, exceed the limit of sin.

“When you are in distress and all these things
have befallen you, at the end of days, you will

return unto Hashem, your G-d, and hearken to
His voice”
