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!","meta_description":"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 Sat…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":3281,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/entering-rosh-hashanah-with-rav-shlomo-katz-6592047/episodes/confusing-the-satan-rosh-hashana-prep-with-the-tolna-rebbe-1/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/entering-rosh-hashanah-with-rav-shlomo-katz-6592047/confusing-the-satan-rosh-hashana-prep-with-the-tolna-rebbe-1.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
