    What to Take with Me into Yom Kippur

    Join Rav Shlomo Katz and the chevra of Shirat David as we step from the awe of Rosh Hashanah into the יום של אמת of Yom Kippur—where the day itself reveals who we’ve been all along. With the Shem MiShmuel and a luminous teaching from the Lubavitcher Rebbe, we learn that on Yom Kippur the מידת האמת shines, the עצם הנשמה is uncovered, and עיצומו של יום מכפר—the core of the day atones. From that place, even על חטא turns future-facing: “That was last year; this year you won’t recognize me.” And with the Radomsker Rebbe’s reading of the Mishnah, we enter the Kodesh HaKodashim carrying one short tefillah of the Kohen Gadol: לא להבהית את ישראל—Hashem, don’t let Your children live in fear. Practical avodah to take into Yom Kippur: • Learn 10 quiet minutes before Kol Nidrei on מידת האמת—so the simchah of truth feels familiar, not foreign. • Reframe על חטא: name one pattern from last year, then write its new, honest opposite for this year. • Two moments of “eye contact” with Hashem (no words): once after Ashamnu, once before Ne’ilah—let the neshama speak. • Whisper the Kohen Gadol’s line during Ne’ilah: לא להבהית את ישראל—and include tefillah for our soldiers and the return of all captives. • Leave with one small kabbalah of emet—a truthful act you can keep the morning after. May the Ribbono Shel Olam let us meet our truest self this Yom Kippur—חבוקה ודבוקה בך—and write us all into a year where truth dissolves fear, and the light of atonement becomes everyday life.

    The Magical Days Between Yom Kippur and Succot

    What if the most important part of Yom Kippur… is what happens after? Join Rav Shlomo Katz and explore the deep spiritual power of the days between Yom Kippur and Sukkos — a window of light often overlooked but filled with holiness and potential. Drawing on Chazal, Rav Kook, the Piaseczner Rebbe, and teachings from Rav Moshe Weinberger, Rav Shlomo teaches us that true taharah (purity) isn’t achieved in the Yom Kippur experience, but as we emerge from it, feet dripping from the Mikvah, hearts wide open. We are no longer in the angelic zone of Yom Kippur… and that’s the point. Now is when we bring that light into real life.

    Not Noticing When My Children Notice Me | Yom Kippur

    In this soul-stirring shiur, delivered during the Ten Days of Teshuva, Rav Shlomo Katz opens our hearts to the sacred intersection of Shabbos, parenting, and Yom Kippur. Drawing from deep Chassidic sources, personal memories, and lived Torah, he reveals how the everyday moments at the Shabbos table can become the most powerful acts of teshuva — and how our children absorb far more from who we are than from what we say. We journey through stories of sincerity, childhood impressions, and Rav Shlomo’s own father’s Yom Kippur avodah to uncover the real power of Hiddur Mitzvah — beautifying even the “small” things that don’t appear in halachic books, but shape the soul of a home. Whether you're reflecting on your Yom Kippur, building a Jewish home, or wondering where to begin again, this episode is a heart map for meaningful living.
