. "In Judaism, confession (Hebrew \u05D5\u05B4\u05D3\u05BC\u05D5\u05BC\u05D9 Widduy; Viddui) is a step in the process of atonement during which a Jew admits to committing a sin before God. In sins between a Jew and God, the confession must be done without others present (The Talmud calls confession in front of another a show of disrespect)."@en . .
