Certain penitential fasts, then, are to be actually endured while others are to be redeemed through charity. Which leads the Alter Rebbe to tackle yet another series of questions, namely: 1. Why is it written that some transgressions are not remediable with repentance, if that is the case, then 2. Is it true that nothing stands in the way of repentance? 3. We are told of death "in the hands of heaven" as a punishment for certain unspeakable sins, yet we see that many people who have in fact transgressed seem immune to this punishment?
