When we repent, can we do more than change the present—can we change the past?
In Teshuva and Time Travel, Samuel Lebens brings classical Jewish texts on repentance into conversation with contemporary philosophical reflection on the nature of time. The series asks how seriously we should take the idea that teshuva can undo damage already done, exploring what it might mean for the past to be changed.
Across three recordings, questions about repentance, memory, sin, and atonement connect Jewish learning with philosophical inquiry. The result is an invitation to consider what transformation involves when the actions we regret already belong to the past.
