Rav Shlomo Katz

In 1987, R' Shlomo Carlebach z'l was invited to Lincoln Square Synagogue in Manhattan, to give over a session on what it means to be a Chassid after the Holocaust. The words we learned in today's session were form this epic talk.

What is the main driving force behind the ingathering of exiles that has taken place in our time? What does the term 'light of Shechina' even mean? In today's class, Rav Sasson helps us understand core beliefs of the era of redemption, which we are currently experiencing.

If Shabbos is a gift that is given to us every week, why are we to work so hard for it? Rav Biderman opens our hearts to receive the gift of Shabbos.

Each child comes to the world in order to reveal a new way of revealing G-d's glory. מאמר הילד will help us understand the purpose of connecting to the inner child, the place in us that still longs to do what we are supposed to do in this world.

As long as Zionism is not linked to G-d's words 'to the land which i will show you", the friends and enemies of the Jewish people will continue to make a mockery of us.

What would you do if you were told that if you put your heart and soul into one night, your children will be set forever?

Based on a teaching from R' Avraham Tzvi Kluger, we took a second to prepare to digest a mitzva, the mitzva of eating matza.

What has happened in this world? Where is Truth? What is Truth? Welcome to Rebbe Nachman of Breslov's teachings on Emet.

We are either back in the land, or we are not.

Hallel - Rosh Chodesh Nisan 5764 April 2024 @ Shirat David

What has happened in this world? Where is Truth? What is Truth? Welcome to Rebbe Nachman of Breslov's teachings on Emet.

Ingathering of Jewish Sparks from the nations of the world is part of Shlemut Ha'am.

This Shabbos is Parshat Hachodesh, where we read about the first mitzvah given to us. Rav Biderman teaches us the depths behind the location and timing of the giving of this mitzvah, to enable to unlock powers within, powers that are so crucially needed in out time.

Based on a beautiful and heartfelt piece from Rav Kluger, we receive a huge dose of direction towards this year's Seder.

בס׳ד פרשת שמיני עם השפת אמת שפת אמת תרל׳ו בשם אמו"ז ז"ל ע"פ אשר לא צוה אותם. ללמוד כי העיקר כח כל מעשה האדם מצד ציווי ה'. כי כל שכל אדם בטל לכח זה. והנה נדב ואביהוא היו צדיקים גדולים ועשו לשם שמים רק שהי' חסר הציווי. ויש ללמוד קו"ח מדה טובה מרובה א"כ מי שעושה רצון הבורא אף שאינו יודע טעם הדבר לעשותו בכוונה רצוי'. הרי זה הכח מצד פקודת ה'. כמאמר אשר קדשנו במצותיו וצונו. כח ציווי זו חשוב מן הכל. וי"ל...

Being 'all in' is not as scary as it sounds. It's actually much scarier to be partially in.

Chochma begins with the recognition of the one and only authority over my life, and it feels so good.

There was no one as sensitive to the giant souls of today like Rav Kook. In this class, we learned a piece from אורות התחיה, and with help from Rav Sasson, are able to understand the needs of today's generation.

Based on a wonderful piece from Rav Biderman, we learned how the reading of Parshas Para is much more crucial to our yiddishkeit than we realize.

בס׳ד פרשת צו - תפארת שלמה ואת כל העדה הקהל אל פתח אהל מועד. ויעש משה כאשר צוה ה' אתו ותקהל העדה כו' ויאמר משה אל העדה זה הדבר אשר צוה ה' לעשות כו'. ופרש"י זה הדבר דברים שתראו שאני עושה לפניכם צוני הקב"ה לעשות ואל תאמרו לכבודי אני עושה כו' ע"ש. הנה יש להבין מה הראה להם משה רבינו במעשה הזה שכן צוהו הקב"ה לעשות שמא גם זה עושה מלבו ולכבודו וכדומה. אולם כבר נתבאר ענין מעלת משה רבינו ע"ה שהוא היה כולל ה...

G-d chose to give the whole land of Israel to the Jewish people. This is a core belief of Judaism. Once this is crystal clear to me, I can begin to find ways to partake in the tikkun for our country.

Shirat David Leyl Purim 2024

Based on the teachings of Rav Biderman, we go into Shabbos Zachor a passion for much Jewish children, like never before.

Rav Kook has a secret for us, yes, for us here today An opportunity this Purim like never before To taste what the whole Torah is all about for real
