R Shlomo Freifeld sometimes translated “cheit” as failure or missing the mark (he brought a proof to the meaning.) He said sometimes we need to give a little life to these concepts. When asking what does cheit meant he remarked along the lines of, “a sin? a sin, a sin, sin has as much meaning to us as…ich veis vos (i dont know what).” And, “go to a university and tell someone about sin, theyl laugh in ur face. It has no meaning.”
I think i get where feivels coming from but i dont think it’s fair to say that about everyone. There were/are big people that sometimes garb ideas in more relatable ways.
