We make a cheshbon hanefesh. We think about what went wrong, whom we hurt, where we fell short. And then suddenly we enter Aseret Yemei Teshuvah—and the Rebbe says something extraordinary: the avodah of these ten days is not teshuvah for our aveirot.\n\nSo what are we doing?\nIn this shiur, we enter into the meaning of “Dirshu Hashem b’himatzo”—seek Hashem when He is found—and discover a kind of closeness that isn’t dependent on how good our Elul was, how holy we feel, or even whether we were looking for it.\nHashem is simply found right now.\nAnd that changes everything.\nWe explore the difference between the teshuvah of Elul and the teshuvah ila’ah of Aseret Yemei Teshuvah, why “Shuvah Yisrael ad Hashem Elokecha” is ultimately about returning the soul to its source, and why Yom Kippur culminates not in shame, but in אחת—bringing every scattered piece of ourselves back to One.\nThe question of these days is no longer only, “What did I do wrong?”\n\nIt becomes something much deeper:\nHashem is here. What am I going to do with that?\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/KHKOh hPaeHx5Kb74WL9L9a?mode=ems_copy_t\n\nCHAPTERS\n00:00 Opening & Sponsorships\n01:11 Tefillah Must Go Up—and Come Back Down\n03:05 A Mother Asks for a “Soul Doctor”\n04:52 What Does בהמצאו Really Mean?\n06:04 Is the King Still in the Field?\n07:39 Aseret Yemei Teshuvah Aren’t About Sins\n09:22 Why We Enter These Days Wearing White\n10:44 שובה ישראל עד ה׳ אלוקיך\n12:37 What Are the Marching Orders?\n15:28 Returning Everything Back to One\n33:07 Hashem Is Already Moving Through Am Yisrael\n43:28 Avinu Malkeinu: Just Get Closer","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/dNqUo-qOoDo2t4-tOUFv7-9wy03-Ot-XjLq2ycCrvQA/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS8zOWZj/NmYxOTE5NWQ5MmMx/MWNlYTIzNmEwNDY4/YmExZS5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
