Question

What is meant by the sages' statement that the Sabbath observer's sins are forgiven? Does it mean that after each Sabbath I have no more sins?

Answer

Hello,

The Taz explained that certainly forgiveness is not granted to someone who does not repent. Rather, it means that there are sins that are not immediately forgiven and require suffering or the atonement of Yom Kippur, and there are also sins that are only atoned for on the day of death. Regarding this, the sages said that one who properly observes the Sabbath, everything is atoned for through repentance alone.
