Shabbat Shuva | The Souls Return Home

Episode Description from the Publisher

In this shiur, Rav Dov Ber Cohen reframes teshuva not as a word of burden or guilt, but as a warm and healing return to one's truest self. Drawing on Shabbat Shuvah and Parshas Ha'azinu, he teaches that the neshama's natural state is love, joy, and awe, and that teshuva is simply the act of remembering where we come from. Rabbi Dov Ber weaves together the inner meaning of Shabbat, the practice of presence, and the silence that underlies all of creation. He shows how menucha is not rest from exhaustion but a return to the stillness that was here before creation began. The yetzer hara, he explains, arrives precisely when we are on the verge of something holy, which is itself a reason for encouragement rather than despair. This shiur is a call to stop running, look up, and recognize that you are never truly disconnected from Hashem.
