Answer by  spicykissa (201)

No. Confession is a sacrament in the Christian tradition. Catholic, Orthodox, and some strands of Anglican believers go to confession. There are instances in the Jewish Scriptures of people confessing their sins to God and other people, of course, but there is no general, expected way of doing so.

No Jews do not go to confession. Catholics and Lutherans go to confession. They believe that rather than confessing your sins straight to Christ, they must first go through and intercessor. The intercessor is their priest or their pastor. Jews do not believe that the Messiah has come, so they cannot believe that their sins can be taken away.
