Rosh Hashanah on Shabbat | When Ahavah and Yirah Come Together

In this shiur, Rav Dov Ber Cohen explores the rare and elevated meeting point of Rosh Hashanah and Shabbat. Drawing from the Netivot Shalom and the Yerushalmi, he unpacks why zichron teruah, the Torah's language of remembering the shofar, points specifically to this day. When Rosh Hashanah falls on Shabbat, the shofar is not blown, yet the inner work of crowning the King continues at a deeper level. Memory, kavana, and davening become the vessel. Rabbi Dov Ber teaches that Rosh Hashanah carries yirah, and Shabbat carries ahavah, and that on this day alone both wings are present together. There is no din on Shabbat, no judgment, only the possibility of a relationship fully alive with awe and love at once. The mitzvah becomes the yearning itself, and the yearning becomes a form of closeness that the action alone cannot reach.
