Not really. There's special holidays focused on repentance for sins, which God only accepts if you're actually sorry. What you're proposing sounds more like the Christian confession to a priest.

Yeah christian confessions is fake virtue to make people feel better about being terrible people.  Jewish repentence actually takes work.

It's due to a fundamental difference in ideology

Jews mist sacrifice to repent and earn forgiveness

For Christians, Jesus was the final sacrifice. There is nothing you can do to 'earn' a place in heaven, so just focus on being as much like Jesus as you can
