Question
Shalom, I have a few questions:
1. When I return from work, I usually take a shortcut through the Shimon HaTzaddik area, near East Jerusalem. Is there a problem with this — is it considered entering a dangerous place?
2. I am afraid of the punishments that a person receives after death. Is there a way to be saved from these punishments?
3. For which sin is a person punished with eternal punishment in Gehinnom?

Answer
Shalom and blessings.
1. If dangerous incidents do not regularly occur there, it is not defined as a place of danger.
2. Yes, by doing teshuvah. That is: regretting what you have done, confessing before Hashem, and accepting upon yourself not to do it again.
3. Through teshuvah, nothing remains forever.
