About this listen
When all is said and done, what can strengthen the Jewish heart?
On the 80th yahrzeit of the Piaseczner Rebbe—the Aish Kodesh, HY”D—Rav Shlomo Katz learns his sefarim inside and brings them straight into our moment, days after Oct 7. The Rebbe gives us language for the dance we’re living: crying out to Hashem, and at times at Hashem, while refusing to sever the relationship.
We explore the Piaseczner’s radical guidance to invite Hashem into our pain, to sense His pain with us, and how that awareness can “sweeten judgments” and open a door to revelation.
This shiur also marks the crucial difference between then and now: we are not helpless; Am Yisrael is awake and acting. Rav Shlomo speaks about holy gevurah, teshuvah of clarity, and restoring the Jewish heart without going numb. If you’ve wondered how to daven, protest, and trust all at once, this is a tender, unsparing roadmap from the Rebbe’s words to our reality.
Dedicated to the fallen and wounded of Am Yisrael, HY”D, and to those protecting us in body and spirit. May the Aish Kodesh be a melitz yosher for us all.
