About this listen

In this Elul shiur Rav Shlomo Katz and the chevra of Shirat David begin a sweet journey into the Tolna Rebbe’s Torah on “לערבב את השטן – confusing the Satan.”

Why do we blow shofar both “מיושב” and “מעומד”? What actually silences the מקטרג on Rosh Hashanah?

Through Rashi and the Pnei Yeshua we discover a radical key: חיבוב מצווה—genuine love and longing for mitzvot—pushes us from teshuvah mi’yirah into teshuvah me’ahavah, where “זדונות נעשים לו כזכויות.” We also learn the Tolna Rebbe’s powerful reading of “יתיצב על דרך לא טוב, רע לא ימאס”: it’s not only what you do; it’s what you tolerate. Elul is not just סור מרע; it’s training the heart for עשה טוב, building holy anticipation and preparation so we can truly stand on a good path.

What you’ll hear:

  • Why liking a mitzvah may matter even more than merely doing it
  • How love-driven teshuvah flips debts into credits
  • “Live and let live” vs. מואס ברע—why tolerance of רע is spiritually dangerous
  • The art of הכנה: turning Elul into daily training for תקיעת שופר
  • Dropping “pins” on moments of קדושה, so getting back up is faster
