As the new Jewish year approaches, many of us are looking back at this past year with a potpourri of thoughts emotion. If you’re like me, there’s stuff you’re proud of, as well as stuff you regret.
For example:
הַחֲרָטָה הִיא חֵלֶק מֵהַחַיִּים.
Remorse is part of life.
For example:
הִיא הִתְחָרְטָה עַל הַהַחְלָטָה רַק מִסְפַּר רְגָעִים אַחֲרֵי שֶׁהִיא קִבְּלָה אֹתָהּ.
She regretted the decision just a few moments after she made it.
להתחרט also means to back out, as described here.
