To repent and confess one's guilt/ to beat one's breast in contrition

Express regret. Confess a sin you have committed. Be saved (the expression originates from the custom of striking the chest when reciting the confession in prayer).

("We have sinned openly and secretly, we ask for both of them as one... and he struck his fist on the chest (written in the Ari language) and in the Midrash of Kohelet Ita, he struck his heart, saying, "You have caused me to sin." He said, "Atonement for sins, forgiveness for iniquities, and healing for crimes (practices and God in the name of Rama)" - Magen Avraham Simeon Terez, And so: "And he who strikes upon sin/ And he who strikes upon his pride/ And he who shakes the broken string of my hand/ And he who is as bloody as a drum/ And as trembling as a lute/ He who trembles to the tune of my uncle's beating" - Jonathan Ratosh/ On Sin)
