Rosh Hashanah: Selichos and Shofar With Simcha

AI summary (may contain mistakes)

How can Selichos and Rosh Hashanah be b'simcha when we stand worried before the Yom HaDin? The Leket Yosher has the first Selichos said on Motzaei Shabbos, out of the simcha of Shabbos and its Torah. The shofar takes us inside, as if into the Kodesh HaKodashim, and the closer we come to pnimius, the more clarity and simcha we have. Confusion belongs to the outside world, where the Satan and Amalek do their work.

Key points

• The Leket Yosher ties Motzaei Shabbos Selichos to the simcha and extra Torah of Shabbos.
• The shofar brings zikaron, so the Gemara treats it as if inside the Kodesh HaKodashim, and no gold.
• Amalek equals safek in gematria, and nobody does an aveira without confusion.
