  Nitzavim: Which Mitzvah Is Closest To Me?

  Jan 27, 202634 minS5

  <p>"It is not in Heaven... it is very close to you." What specific Mitzvah is the Torah referring to? </p><p>Rav Shlomo Katz explores the classic debate between Rashi (who says it is Torah study) and the Ramban (who says it is Teshuvah). We dive into the Vilna Gaon's view on the infinite value of a single letter of Torah, and Rav Kook's profound insight into why Teshuvah is simultaneously the easiest and the hardest commandment.</p><p>Rav Shlomo connects this to the concept of Kiddushin (marriage), where a person can become righteous in a single split...

  Jan 27, 202652 minS5

  <p>As we approach Rosh Hashanah, are we standing firm or are we being blown over by every passing wind? </p><p>Rav Shlomo Katz explores the power of Atem Nitzavim—standing like a monument.

  Ki Tavo: Is Sadness An Aveira?

  Jan 27, 202652 minS5

  <p>Why do bad things happen? The Torah gives a frighteningly simple answer: "Because you did not serve Hashem with joy." </p><p>Rav Shlomo Katz delves into this difficult concept through the lens of the Rambam and the Klausenberger Rebbe. We learn that sadness is considered the "greatest sin" not because it is forbidden, but because it is a dead end that implies Hashem made a mistake.</p><p>Rav Shlomo explains the difference between being a "Nebach" (victim) and being a partner. We explore how asking Hashem for help with joy opens gates that tears of despair can...

  Ki Teitze: From the Moment You Leave the Womb, IT'S A WAR

  Jan 27, 202626 minS5

  <p>Is life supposed to be easy, or were we born for battle? </p><p>In this empowering session, Rav Shlomo Katz reframes our existence based on the Heichal HaBracha (Komarna Rebbe). We learn that "When you go out to war" hints at the moment a soul leaves the womb—we are born directly into a battlefield, and that is exactly where we are meant to be.</p><p>Rav Shlomo challenges the depressing notion that struggle is a sign of failure. Instead, we discover that we are soldiers in Hashem's elite unit, and the constant friction of life is th...

  <p>What is the difference between an external battle and an internal struggle?</p><p> In this profound session, Rav Shlomo Katz explores the opening verse: "When you go out to war against your enemies." Drawing on the Tanya and the concept of Brit (Covenant) from Rabbi Yitzchak Ginsburgh, we learn that a person cannot truly conquer the "world" until they have settled the internal war of "Am I really sure?"</p><p>Rav Shlomo discusses the debilitating nature of doubt (Amalek) and shares a personal encounter on a plane regarding a Persian Jew who lived with the simple clarity: "W...
