About this listen

Rav Shlomo Katz explores the aftermath of Shimon and Levi’s zealous act, revealing their transformation into teachers and kohanim despite Yaakov’s curse on their anger. Their legacy—marked by the city of Shechem on Shimon’s flag—shows nekama as a holy necessity when rooted in love for Hashem, not ego.

Facing the ongoing trauma of kidnapped Jews and antisemitic acts like swastikas on graves post-October 7, 2023, this episode urges Am Yisrael to embrace uncomfortable Torah truths, channel nekama through tefilla and Kiddush Hashem, and awaken from the galut coma to restore divine justice.
