182. Rosh Hashana Confuse Satan Do & Don't

Theme: It’s Time to Shake Up the Satan! *Huge Mazal Tov to Mrs. Schapiro for her new grandson born today, Boruch Hashem! *This week’s sicha is sponsored by Hentcha Zavdi in appreciation to Etty & Mrs. Schapiro for helping us stay connected and learn in such a clear, enjoyable, practical way. And as a zchus for Chassidishe, Gezunte and Freiliche children. *and sponsored by Libby Oster לזכות ולרפואה שלימה לאהרן בן חנה בטוב הנראה והנגלה! We should all have a כתיבה וחתימה טובה a שנה טובה ומתוקה! We should all merit to have the גאולה with Moshiach now!! 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! CONFIDENT stand! We go into Rosh Hashana fully confident we are already sealed for a Shana Tova Umesuka! 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 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! Erev Rosh Hashana, 29 Elul, Chelek Chof Daled, page 222
