Why are the Jewish people called a Segula (Treasure)?

In this illuminating shiur based on the writings of Rav Kook, Rav Shlomo Katz tackles the uncomfortable question of "chosenness." We explore the two components of Jewish holiness: the inherent "Nature of the Soul" (Segula), which we didn't earn, and the "Free Will" (Bechira), which we work for through Torah and Mitzvos.

Rav Kook explains that while our actions reveal the light, the inherent holiness implanted by Hashem is incomparably greater than anything we can achieve on our own.

This episode offers a new lens for viewing the secular world and ourselves by understanding that even when actions are lacking, the "Segula" remains an eternal, unchangeable reality within every Jewish soul.
