About this listen
Rav Shlomo Katz continues exploring the Alter Rebbe’s Tanya (Chapter 31), clarifying the difference between atzvut (paralyzing sadness) and lev nishbar (a broken heart alive with feeling). True depression seals the heart like stone, but holy bitterness breaks it open — allowing vitality, teshuva, and ultimately simcha to flow in. Drawing on the teachings of Rav Kook, Rebbe Nachman, and the Arizal, we discover how sadness can be transformed into sweetness, how gevurah and chesed both shape the heart, and why leaving Mitzrayim is the ongoing work of breaking free from emotional constriction.
