This weeks Parsha tells us the results of full repentance.

The Parsha of Netzavim falls out prior to Rosh Hashana, and ends off with the eventual repentance and redemption of the Bnei Yisroel.

The Parsha starts off with "You are standing today...", Rav Eliyahu Meir Bloch explains that this term can also be telling us, to take a moment to stop our every day life and take some time to think about the path we would like to be taking in our life.  A time of change in a persons life, is the perfect time for one to take a deeper look into where he is headed.

Rashi explains, that now Moshe was giving over to Yehosua, the leadership of the Bnei Yisroel.  This is a critical time, and people may loose their present spiritual level, due to the loss of their leader.

However, the time of a change can also be used for increasing ones closeness to Hashem and repentance.  For one can now forget about his past, and start from fresh.  The feeling of wanting to change, repenting on the past, can bring one to a higher level.

We must look at the present, and see how we can change the future.
Thus, "Today you are standing", look at today not as the past yet the present.  Take time now to see how you can change the future.

Repentance is not only for those who have sinned, rather it is also there for the need that each one of us has, to change.

Rebbi Meir Simcha Zisel says that one should not remain a "simple Jew".
Rather each one of us must work on himself to reach higher levels.  If a person feels that he has not reached the wanted and expected level, he should repent and try to reach that level.

The Chazal say that Teshuva (repentance) was created before the creation of the world.  Why? If there was no world created yet, and no one sinned, why was their a need for Teshuva?  So we see that Teshuva is needed even if one didn't sin ever, for one still has to constantly be going up the ladder of spirituality, and come close to Hashem.  (Sefer Darcei Mussar)

Rav Henach Leibowitz writes that we are all required to spend time to determine what are motivating factors are, and if they are in accordance with the Torah.  For Hashem has created us all with the power of self-analysis.  We must spend these days of the Yamim Noraim (Rosh Hashana-Yom Kippur), to check our actions and our deeds, for if we begin to make an effort to improve our ways, Hashem will certainly help us to succeed in our goals.
