A description of this class as found on Aish Audio:

What does it take to get up from a fall? From years of bad memories, we usually dread even thinking about it. However, God took this into account by creating the antidote of 'teshuva' even before the world's creation was completed. From an amazing Talmudic story about Rabbi Elazar ben Dudai's encounter with a woman of ill repute, Rabbi Kahn shows how his subsequent repentance made him the classic example of a human being's ability to do all-encompassing teshuva - on the spot.
