About this listen

Rav Shlomo Katz unpacks the zealous nekama of Shimshon Hagibor, Shimon, and Levi. Shimshon’s plea for divine vengeance (Judges 16:28) and Shimon and Levi’s defense of Dinah (Genesis 34) reflect a love-driven mission to sanctify Hashem’s name, not personal rage.

Amid the ongoing war and rising antisemitism post-October 7, 2023, this episode calls Jews to reject foreign misconceptions, awaken from the galut coma, and draw a new “map” of Kiddush Hashem, ensuring nekama flows from love for Am Yisrael and Eretz Yisrael.
