causes us to "miss the mark"? How do we get back on the "right path‚" according to Judaism‚ and what role does free will/choice play in this?

Free Will Free will is clearly an ontological issue‚ but it is rooted in the metaphysical nature of reality. We should study free will because it is theologically significant and because many people assume a particular definition of free will that is incorrect. Studying free will is challenging because it is not defined in Scripture. Further‚ it is complex because it connects too many other larger theological issues; it intersects with philosophy‚ historical theology‚ and systematic theology. At
