About this listen
In honor of the 30th Yahrzeit of Reb Shlomo Carlebach, Rav Shlomo Katz opens a "hidden" transcript from a teaching Reb Shlomo gave in Montreal in 1993
This deep and emotional shiur tackles the concept of the Ilana D'Sfeika (Tree of Doubt) mentioned in the Zohar. We explore why the Torah omits Avraham's name at the moment of revelation ("And God appeared to him"), explaining that in a moment of true intimacy, names and definitions vanish because no one else exists.
Rav Shlomo weaves in the Izhbitzer Rebbe's insights on the difference between "forcing" oneself to do mitzvos versus serving Hashem naturally through the Covenant. We also discuss Rav Kook's "Second Function"—the necessity of having a private relationship with Hashem that the world never sees. This episode is a call to move beyond the doubt of "does what I do matter?" and step into a clarity where our relationship with Hashem illuminates the entire world.
