About this listen
In this Elul shiur, Rav Shlomo Katz and the chevra of Shirat David continue the Tolna Rebbe’s Torah, asking the most vulnerable question: “What does Hashem really think of me?”
Through the pasuk “לא הביט און ביעקב ולא ראה עמל בישראל, ה׳ אלקיו עמו ותרועת מלך בו” we uncover a breathtaking teaching: when a Jew is מואס ברע—disgusted by the bad even if he still stumbles—and cultivates חיבוב מצווה, Hashem doesn’t fix His gaze on the fall. Instead, He sees the yearning, the effort, and the love.
The Rebbe reads the halacha of בעליו עמו לא ישלם as a key to teshuvah: when the Master is “with you,” even your failures don’t define you. What matters most is whether your heart wants to be on the path of טוב, and whether mitzvot excite you enough to awaken the friendship of the King—ותרועת מלך בו.
What you’ll hear:
- Why the Satan “gives up” when he sees our love of mitzvos
- How disgust at רע can actually be a sign of deep health
- Why חיבוב מצווה brings reward even in this world
- Entering Rosh Hashanah not with self-beating, but with holy anticipation
