Chasidut para sa Mga Awit 81:14

ל֗וּ עַ֭מִּי שֹׁמֵ֣עַֽ לִ֑י יִ֝שְׂרָאֵ֗ל בִּדְרָכַ֥י יְהַלֵּֽכוּ׃

Kung makikinig lamang sa Akin ang bayan Ko, at lalakad ang Israel sa Aking mga daan!

Shem MiShmuel

And the content of the blowing of the shofar is a broken heart - moaning, wailing, like sick people moan or like one wails about his dead. And that is that a person sees himself as if his powers have already disappeared due to his sickness, or as if he has already died and has no hope. But behold he is purified by the breaking of his heart, like the matter of a clay vessel, which is purified by breaking it. So the Satan is no longer able to accuse [them of sins], since their impurity has removed itself from them. Yet there is nevertheless hope about them for the [Satan]. He is [however] a foolish old king, as he thinks that maybe because of their subjugation and the breaking of their heart they will fall into the pits of sadness, despair and black humor, as this is the worst of all. Hence he still makes efforts to bring piles of iniquities and to accuse, in order that this will cause sadness and despair to the Jewish people below, God forbid. However when he sees that they go back and blow the shofar while they are standing - that is, that they are aroused with new life and hold the commandments dear - then the hands of the Satan weaken and he loses all hope. So he is confused and no longer knows what to do. But he is afraid to continue bringing piles of sins and to accuse, lest from the accusation, the Jewish people will add to their arousal and their new life to the point that the [verse] will be fulfilled, "If only My people would listen to Me, if Israel would follow My paths, then would I subdue their enemies at once, strike their foes again and again" (Psalms 81:14-15). And it is as they said, 'If you will listen to His voice today, He will blow the great shofar [of redemption],' so that the time will come for [the Satan] to be swallowed up.
