À propos de cet audio

Rav Shlomo Katz and the chevra of Shirat David dive into one of the boldest and most transformative Torah texts of our generation, "Tikkun HaMedinah" (Rectifying the State of Israel) by Rav Yitzchak Ginsburgh. This series is a spiritual and intellectual journey through the soul of Am Yisrael, the identity of a Jewish state, and the deep inner work needed to align national destiny with divine will. From politics to prophecy, this is a call to heal, to rebuild, and to reveal the holiness at the heart of the modern State of Israel.© 2025 Rav Shlomo Katz

  • 38. A Chain of Love Across the Land
    Jul 17 2025

    When we speak of settling the Land of Israel, it’s not about politics. It’s about love. It’s about a deep, sacred bond between the Jewish people and our eternal soulmate—the Land itself.

    Rav Shlomo Katz shares the heartfelt and holy vision of creating a ratzef shel ahavah, a continuous chain of Jewish presence across the Land. Every Jewish home, every planted tree, every kiss upon the soil—each one becomes a point in a constellation of covenantal love.

    Drawing from Chazal, from Rav Ginsburgh, and from his own life experiences, Rav Shlomo brings down a teaching that is as practical as it is poetic. Financial independence from foreign powers, returning to agriculture, teaching our children to touch the Land with their own hands—these aren’t extras. They are acts of marital devotion, ways to express real ahavah through rooted presence.

    From the aftermath of 1967 to the small lemon trees growing in a Jewish yard today, the mission is the same: to create not just a nation, but a home. A marriage. A living, breathing testimony that this love is not an idea. It’s a reality.

    Because when the Land is loved with presence and passion, it responds. And the shechinah begins to dwell once again.

  • 37. The Land is Our Bride
    Jul 16 2025

    What does it mean to marry the Land of Israel?

    Rav Shlomo Katz takes us deep into one of the most powerful and poetic truths in all of Torat Eretz Yisrael: our relationship with the Land is like that of a groom and his bride. It’s not just ownership. It’s not just residence. It’s love. And real love demands presence, devotion, and action.

    Drawing from the words of the prophets, Rav Ginsburgh's teachings, and the deepest chords of our people’s yearning, this shiur explores how that love is expressed in its most tangible form—through settling, working, and developing the land. Not out of nationalism, not out of ideology, but from the same overflowing heart that wants to nurture a beloved.

    We are reminded that proclaiming sovereignty is not enough. The relationship becomes whole only when we act like those who are in love, with effort, passion, and consistency. This is not metaphorical; it’s agricultural, practical, emotional, and deeply spiritual.

    If we want the Land to thrive, we must become the devoted partner she deserves.

  • 36. The Torah Needs Better PR
    Jul 16 2025

    Let’s be honest: the Torah has a public relations problem. But it’s not the Torah’s fault. It’s ours.

    Rav Shlomo Katz opens up the heartbreak, confusion, and beauty of trying to represent Torah in today’s world. Why is it that so many people recoil at the mention of Torah and mitzvot? Why does a vision of holiness sometimes come across as judgment, rigidity, or even oppression?

    Rav Shlomo calls it out directly: we’ve been shouting Torah without embodying its sweetness. Acting in Hashem’s name without transmitting His rachamim. Building ideological kingdoms while forgetting the human heart. And that’s why the Rebbe’s vision of a “Kingdom of Priests”—a people who bring light through example, not force—is more relevant than ever.

    The repair begins when we reintroduce Torah not as a demand, but as a love song. When we live it with beauty, humility, and emunah. When our words reflect the same Divine compassion that gave us those words in the first place.

    Because Torah without love is not Torah. And love without Torah is not enough.
