As you just learned of the shame Adam & Chava and Ezra felt after committing a sin against Hashem, the Talmud says something similar "All those who commit a sin and are ashamed of it are forgiven for all their sins" (Source: Brachot 12b)

1. Write freely for a few minutes on the relationship between shame and forgiveness.
2. How do YOU intuitively or internally treat shame?
3. How do you process wrongdoing?
4. Does what you learnt today and the line of the Talmud ring true to you after answering the above two questions?
4. Is shame towards oneself a good thing? how so and/how not so?
