  In regard to the beautiful shiurim of the three levels of Tesuva, I thought the Rab would appreciate this source.

  הכתב והקבלה ויקרא (פרשת אחרי מות) פרק טז פסוק ל
  יכפר עליכם לטהר. הוסיף לשון טהרה אחר כפרה, יורה שיש בתשובה הכח להפוך הזדונות כזכיות, כי יש בלשון טהרה שתי כוונות, האחת הסרת הלכלוך והפסולת, כמו זהב טהור, מטהר כסף, שענינם מזוקק מן הסיג שהוסר ממנו הפסולת, והשנית זריחת זהר ובהירות (גלאנץ) כמו עצם השמים לטהר. השבת מטהרו (תהלים פ"ט) שפירושם זהרורית צחצוח ובהירות, ומשתי טהרות אלה דבר הכתוב, אמר מכל חטאתיכם לפני ה' תטהרו, אם אתם תשתדלו להטהר ולהסיר מכם כל סיג החטאים וחלאת הפשעים אז ביום הזה יכפר עליכם לטהר אתכם, כלומר וכפר ויקנח חטאתיכם ויסיר לכלוכם, ועוד יוסיף שהמלוכלך בעצמו יתהפך להיות מצוחצח לאור זהיר ובהירות שהזדון עצמו יתהפך לזכות.

  A Layman's Notes

  This website can please feel free to delete the following brief notes, which are no substitute for R. YYJ's thoughts and elaboration:

  • R. YYJ (may he have a speedy return to full health) continues to teach a Sicha from the Rebbe dated Tishrei 1962, explaining a passage in Tractate Shavuos 13a that establishes how Yom Kippur itself effects kapara.
  • The Rebbe teaches how there are three levels of relationship between a Jew and Hashem. There's (1) a contractual relationship where a person accepts the yoke of heaven and performs mitsvos. There's (2) a perceptible underlying relationship that survives the breakdown of the above contractual relationship, causing a person who is alienated from his religious calling to feel unsettled. But then there's (3) a third level of oneness with Hashem based on one's inner core.
  • The last-mentioned relationship of "yechida" is permanent and not impacted by behaviours or attitudes. It is not subject to teshuva or correction.
  • Yom Kippur allows a person to recognize this last relationship and to appreciate his or her oneness with Heaven - a relationship free from distractions and brokenness.

  The 10 chassidic Beach kids wanted to escape YK and yiddishkeit

  But notice well that their van pulled up 5 minutes BEFORE the zman. They arrived in time not to be michalel YK.

  This story is an example of the third, deepest level of connection in the sicha, essence to essence. The story explifies the essence to essence deep connection. Unconditional acceptance without criticism 

  This was the m.o. of Rabbi Trenk who has a biography about him called "Just Love Them ". This is also the m.o. of Avi Fishoff.

  Lehavdil, in sales (like real estate) there are salesmen who negotiate abd then there is the "closer".

  Negotiators bring the parties closer together by a series of give and take, compromise, etc. 

  But the deal isn't sealed yet. It isn't finalized yet.

  The specialist known as the closer (even in baseball!) steps in when the parties have been brought closer than before and he "seals", "finalizes" and completes the deal.

  That is Neilah. The parties came closer throughout YK but Neilah seals the deal.

  In the third deepest level, essence to essence, there never was a separation

  If so.....why do we even need a special day like YK or 10 days? It should be all the time, above time. 

  Essence to essence is beyond a breach. It should be beyond time as well.

  rambam

  The rambam writes בזמן הזה שאין בית המקדש קיים ואין לנו מזבח כפרה אין שם אלא תשובה. התשובה מכפרת על כל העבירות. אפילו רשע כל ימיו ועשה תשובה באחרונה אין מזכירין לו שום דבר מרשעו שנאמר רשעת הרשע לא יכשל בה ביום שובו מרשעו. ועצמו של יום הכפורים מכפר לשבים שנאמר כי ביום הזה יכפר עליכם

  Seems that teshuva is mechaper and the essence of the days is a tnay in the kapara of the teshuva not like the Rebbe
