Rav Yitzchok Blazer
Sometimes our sages use the expression “goes down to Gehinom”; other times they say “falls into Gehinom.” R’ Itzele explained that the difference reflects the different kinds of sins. Sometimes the descent into Gehinom is a gradual decay process. But there are some sins that catapult a person into Gehinom in a flash.
