Instead, He sees the yearning, the effort, and the love.\nThe 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.\nWhat you’ll hear:\nWhy the Satan “gives up” when he sees our love of mitzvos\nHow disgust at רע can actually be a sign of deep health\nWhy חיבוב מצווה brings reward even in this world\nEntering Rosh Hashanah not with self-beating, but with holy anticipation\n----------\nFor more Shuirim and Music from Rav Shlomo Katz, visit: https://ravshlomokatz.com\nJoin Rav Shlomo Katz's WhatsApp Community: https://chat.whatsapp.com/KHKOhhPaeHx5Kb74WL9L9a?mode=ems_copy_t","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/HMxOsmxw5IrEj0QtGaHwjM4wC2NnlNQEL8hMr0DtOBU/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9hZDc2/NTRkZWUyOTcwZmY5/OWFjOTg1OTM0NzM3/YzFhZS5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
