Teshuvah is a time to turn toward God. People are called to turn away from their sin, repent, and change course.

A Cleansing Stream
https://christians-read.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/img_2447.jpg In Judaism, a mikveh (or sometimes mikvah) is a ritual bath for purification and cleansing to prepare worshippers to enter the temple. The name means “collection of water.” The water must come from a natural source such as a lake, river, lake, ocean, or rain, and must be unmoving, not flowing. The Mishna, the Jewish code of law,…

But still, what actually is "rigorism"?
My best guess: Rigorism is the rejection of the decisions made by a given church's hierarchs in favour of an apparently or actually more conservative option (a lot of these groups have "old" or "ancient" in their names), manifesting as contempt towards the hierarchs in question or outright splitting from them. I'm not sure if this is an essential element, but they usually revolve around issues of practice that seem laughably trivial to outsiders; you'll see calendars pop up quite a bit here. Examples, with the issue they split over in brackets, include:
The Essenes in Second Temple Judaism (asceticism, the use of the Enochic calendar and the legitimacy of the Second Temple)
The Donatists and Novatians in Patristic Christianity (readmission of repentant apostates)
Old Calendarists in Greek Orthodoxy (the Gregorian or Julian year for the calendar)
Old Believers in Russian Orthodoxy (icon styles and how to make the sign of the cross)
The Ancient Church of the East in the Church of the East (the Gregorian or Julian year for the calendar)
The Old Catholic Church and Sedevacantism in Roman Catholicism (papal infallibility and the liturgical reforms of Vatican II respectively)
The Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in Mormonism (polygamy and the Adam-God doctrine)
Having made this list, I think there's an additional crucial trait unifying them: they all come from groups that in some fashion or another claim to be the True Church, and that's what gives them their unique character - they insist that they, a small schismatic group, are the only true Christians.

This is a very rare book on Dead Sea Scrolls & the 'Teacher of Righteousness references compared to Jesus One & the same?
One of the theories:
Michael O. Wise posits that the Teacher of Righteousness was the "first messiah", a figure predating Jesus by roughly 100 years. This figure, who Wise believes was named Judah, rose to prominence during the reign of Alexander Jannaeus, and had been a priest and confidant to the king. However, he became dissatisfied with the religious sects in Jerusalem and, in reaction, founded a "crisis cult".
Teshuvah 5784/5949/2024
Elul 1 marks the beginning of Teshuvah, a 40 day period that runs through the holiday of Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement. Teshuvah is the Hebrew word for repent.
Nehemiah 6:15 So the wall was completed on the twenty-fifth of the month Elul, in fifty-two days. The verse above is the only time Elul is mentioned in the Bible. Elul is the last month of the civic calendar in Judaism. Elul is the sixth month of the religious calendar.
