Parshas Ki Seitzei: Listening to the voice of the shofar

As we enter Elul and blow the shofar, Rabbi Shach teaches us that the key difference between one who repents and one who falls away is whether they are a listener. The parsha of Ben Sorer U'Moreh shows us someone who refuses to hear his parents' voice, while Yishmael, though destined to be an enemy, has the power to call out and be heard by Hashem.
