Question
I wanted to ask if unintentional Shabbat desecration is considered karet or intentional, and how one can atone for unintentional Shabbat desecration.
Answer
Shalom and blessings
The punishment of karet is only for intentional desecration.
Even unintentional desecration requires repentance and atonement.
Repentance involves regret, confession, and resolution for the future.
Atonement: According to the instructions of the Gaon, Rabbi Ovadia Fried, shlita, the way to atone for Shabbat desecration is by establishing a daily study of the laws of Shabbat.
