There are certain punishments the Torah did not place in the hands of the Beit Din to
administer.
Rather, the Torah determined certain cases were punishable by karet (a
penalty of Divine punishment, cutting off of the soul).
Masechet Keritot opens with a
listing of the offenses for which the penalty is karet, as well as the halachot related to
the implementation of the karet punishment — (from the word keritah, “cutting off”).
Rambam posits that there are three types of karet:
“Karet Kal” (mild ‘cutting off’):
where the offender dies before their time, but retains
their place in Olam Haba (World to Come) and still merits techiyat ha’meitim
(resurrection of the dead).
“Karet Chamur” (more serious ‘cutting off’):
where the offender lives a full life, but
does not merit Olam Haba.
“Karet HaChamur Be’Yoter” (the most severe ‘cutting off’):
where the offender’s life
is cut short and their soul is excluded from Olam HaBa.
However, the penalties are different for a Chozer B’Teshuvah (person who has
repented).
According to Rambam in Hilchot Teshuvah, even an individual who was
banned from Olam Haba, can regain that privilege if they were to do teshuva. The
importance of teshuva supersedes all considerations.
