Theme: Crushed and confused. The place between one step of growth and another.

This week's Sicha is sponsored by Shaina Zirkind in honor of her birthday.

"Thank you to Etty for arranging this learning weekly and to Mrs. Schapiro for teaching it!!"

This one really hits. That place going from one level to another can be confusing and totally untethered. The nasi asks on all of our behalf that even though right now we look like katonti, a place of confusion, we don't know where to stand on firm ground, Hashem's promise should be fulfilled "Haitiv Eitiv Imach! Hsahem is going to do amazing good things for us!

2. Praising comes together with achdus, connecting to other Yidden - to all kinds! What kind of achdus? The kind that INCLUDES all yidden!
3. Simcha/shturem that goes on when we all do this together!

Use Sukkos as a time to focus on the GOODNESS, the MIRACLES, with ACHDUS & with JOY!

Rivky Kirsh of KIRSH JEWELERS: in honor of these sichos: The sichos are real gems! Who better to say this than someone who works with jewels every day and beautifies women - thank you for joining in the spiritual jewelry to help us prepare for Yom Tov!

A Listener who wishes everyone a Gmar Chasima Tova, & a year full of revealed brochos for everyone!

THEME: Taking Teshuva to a whole new level!

Pnimiyus Teshuva, every yid wants one thing - to be connected to Hashem

I don’t feel it! Main thing is STEP into the mikvah - try!

Depth of the relationship WILL unfold (rabbi akiva)

Sometimes where I am right now I can't see that in myself - but all I need to do is take a STEP, move forward, and then Hashem will take things to the next level! Certain situations I stand in and only see Golus, but I can be in my struggle, in my golus and tap into perspective - see “the laughter of Rabbi Akiva” see the future - and tap into future Geulah in today's Golus.

Theme: It’s Time to Shake Up the Satan!

It's time to shake up the Satan! Our attitude is going to make the Satan lose his footing! We are confident that Hashem already gave us a shana tova umetukah!

We want to go into Rosh Hashana without the voice of the Satan at all!

Some customs we do to mix up the Satan: NOT speaking about Rosh Chodesh in the Tefillos of Rosh Hashana, by NOT blowing shofar erev RH, by not bentching the chodesh on Shabbos Mevorchim, we dont start Shabbos Bereishis until after Simchas Torah, plus blowing shofar all Elul confuses the Satan, we blow numerous times throughout RH so even that throws the Satan off.

This idea seems silly. The Satan is no fool. He’s been around every year.

This idea is not to confuse him WHEN Rosh Hashana is, its deeper:

We will fool him with our approach, our attitude that we take this Rosh Hashana!

1. CONFIDENT stand! We go into Rosh Hashana fully confident we are already sealed for a Shana Tova Umesuka!
2. Tremendous Hisorerus from deep within me. I dont want the Satan in my life anymore, this deep inner shofar voice can push me in a way other things cannot
3. Know that sometimes there are things we CAN do to connect to Hashem bsimcha, and sometimes there are things we CANNOT do - this also connects us to Hashem, bsimcha!

Shana Tova Umesukah with true open revealed brachos with Moshiach!
