Until The Heavenly Throne

לזכות ידיד נפשי הר"ר דניאל צוייגבוים שליט"א אשתו וילדיהם היקרים

The gemara says גדולה תשובה שמגית עד כסא הכבוד - Great is teshuva for it reaches the heavenly throne. 

How high up is the כסא הכבוד that one's teshuva reaches even that high?? 

WE think that the כסא הכבוד is "X" feet high [albeit REALLY HIGH] and our teshuva gets even there. 

But maybe this isn't true? Can we suggest that the כסא הכבוד is אין סופי - limitless? That no matter how high you go  - you never really get to the כסא הכבוד?? 

The ramifications of this are tremendous: It means that teshuva NEVER ENDS. It goes HIGHER and HIGHER together with the אין סוף of the כסא הכבוד. 

[See אורי וישעי page 398 who makes this very assertion]
