## Resource

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 Dedications: לע״נ ר׳ שלום ברודט זצ״ל • לע״נ בתיה פייגא בת ישראל לוי בן יוסף • לרפואה שלמה לאה שושנה בת מלכה ולשרה בת רחל פייגא • Sponsored by the Reinitz family in honor of my sister’s birthday—מזל טוב!
