About this listen

Launched in the wake of October 7, 2023, this gripping series by Rav Shlomo Katz explores nekama (revenge) through a Torah lens, shattering the avodah zarah of political correctness. Rejecting excessive hasbara, it reclaims nekama as a divine imperative to confront evil, rooted in love for Am Yisrael and Eretz Yisrael. Drawing on the fearless teachings of our sages, each episode guides olim and Jews worldwide to awaken from a galut coma, actualizing Malchut’s justice in preparation for Mashiach.© 2025 Rav Shlomo Katz Judaism Political Science Politics & Government Spirituality

  • 12. Standing Up to Restore Nekama and Kiddush Hashem
    Jul 17 2025

    In the final session, Rav Shlomo Katz calls Am Yisrael to "stand up" (kum), as inspired by Rabbi Meir Kahane, rejecting the humiliation of galut mentality that tolerates evil, as seen in post-October 7, 2023, hostage releases and societal compromises. Drawing from Tehillim’s plea for Hashem to rise, this episode urges Jews to walk with dignity, eradicate enemies like Amalek without fear, and awaken nationally to ensure Kiddush Hashem. It’s a clarion call to live as Hashem’s soldiers, building a true Malchut for Geula.

  • 11. Misguided Mercy: Torah’s Call for Nekama to Uphold Justice
    Jul 17 2025

    Rav Shlomo Katz exposes the peril of misplaced compassion (rachamim) on the cruel, as taught by the Ramban and Rabbi Meir Kahane, using the Torah’s Ir Nidachat (idolatrous city) to illustrate the necessity of eradicating evil without hesitation. Post-October 7, 2023, as hostage releases evoke emotional manipulation, Am Yisrael must reject Western-influenced mercy that enables enemies like Amalek. This episode urges Torah-driven nekama to remove Hashem’s wrath, ensuring Kiddush Hashem and hastening Geula, while staying clear of personal vengeance.

  • 10. Milchemet Nekama: Torah’s Call to Eradicate Evil Without Compromise
    Jul 17 2025

    Rav Shlomo Katz delves into the Torah’s concept of Milchemet Nekama (war of vengeance), guided by the Maharal, Rambam, Netziv, Rav Hershel Schachter, and Rav Shaul Yisraeli. Exploring Milchemet Mitzvah (e.g., against Amalek, Seven Nations) versus Milchemet Reshut, the episode clarifies that nations failing to uphold justice—like Shechem’s complicity in Dina’s rape or modern enemies post-October 7, 2023—lose their claim to innocence.

    Rejecting Western moral confusion, Am Yisrael is urged to embrace Torah-driven nekama for Kiddush Hashem, ensuring victory and hastening Geula.
