After learning about Amalek in theory, Rav Shlomo Katz and the chevra of Shirat David turn to the question everyone eventually reaches:

So what are we actually supposed to do with this?

This is not a shiur about slogans or politics. It’s an honest conversation about galus mentality, October 7th, “quiet for quiet,” fear, leadership, and whether Am Yisrael is emotionally prepared to confront evil without falling back into illusion.

Moving between Rav Soloveitchik, Rav Shmuel Eliyahu, the failures of Oslo, and the spiritual confusion of modern Jewish life, Rav Shlomo explores why clarity itself has become one of the hardest things for Jews to hold onto — and why the next generation may be forced to think differently.
