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.
