In Judaism we perform Teshuva.
This means that he ceases his forbidden actions, regrets what he has done, confesses before God, and firmly resolves never to repeat those actions.
Aside from this standard process of Teshuva, someone who has committed a crime against another human being is required to make it up to him. If one stole from his fellow, he must return the stolen item; if one has pained his fellow in any way, he must placate his fellow to achieve forgiveness.
The High Holidays are set at a time that is especially conducive to Teshuva. Yom Kippur (the day of atonement) is a day of fasting at the culmination of which Judgment for that year is sealed. Therefore, Jews strive their hardest to make certain that they have performed Teshuva before the end of the day.

I agree....except it depends on WHO in the Jewish faith you are talking to. Those who are Messanic would tell you that you can get forgiveness thru all those ways, but that Christ was the sacrifice.
