What is peace?

Most people think shalom means agreement. Rebbe Nachman teaches something far more challenging—and far more transformative.

Rav Shlomo Katz and the women of Shirat David explore Rebbe Nachman's surprising definition of peace: not the absence of disagreement, but the ability to seek truth together with those who see the world differently than we do.

Drawing from current events, personal stories, and foundational teachings from Likutey Moharan, this conversation examines why machloket distances us not only from one another, but from Hashem Himself.

Along the way, Rav Shlomo explores inner conflict, serenity of the soul, the dangers of ideological certainty, and why true shalom can only emerge when we stop fearing opposing perspectives.
