Niggun ends and shiur begins at (9:40)

In this special episode, recorded amidst escalating tensions between Israel and Iran, Rav Shlomo shares raw, heartfelt Torah to help us spiritually anchor in these trying times.

From the bomb shelters of Ra’anana to the deep teachings of Rabbi Nachman and Reb Yitzchak Breiter, Rav Shlomo opens a window into the soul of Am Yisrael—our strength, our pain, and our unbreakable longing for redemption. He responds directly to those who don’t understand the eternal mission of the Jewish people, reframing suffering not as defeat, but as part of a matarah nitzchit, an eternal purpose.

What does real victory look like? Not a regime change in Tehran, but the rebuilding of the Beit HaMikdash and the return of Mashiach.

What do King David and King Shlomo teach us about the soul of Mashiach?

Rav Shlomo Katz explores a powerful tension in the Torah: Why was David HaMelech, our greatest warrior and servant of Hashem, not allowed to build the Beit HaMikdash? And how is Mashiach, who must also fight great wars, able to build the Third Temple?

Drawing from the Rambam, the Lubavitcher Rebbe, and Chassidic masters, Rav Shlomo reveals that Mashiach will not be just a descendant of David, but also Zera Shlomo - a blend of the courage of David and the peace of Shlomo.

🔹 Why is the Beit HaMikdash still called “Beit David” even though Shlomo built it?
🔹 The Rebbe’s secret insight into the Rambam’s words: “מזרע דוד ומזרע שלמה”
🔹 How Mashiach will conquer the world not through war, but through tefillah
🔹 Why longing for redemption, even when we can’t complete the mission, changes everything

From David’s holy wars to Shlomo’s divine peace, we uncover how Mashiach will bring the world together, without even one gunshot. Just pure presence, love, and Emunah.

What will actually change when Mashiach comes? And what if the answer isn’t a different world, but a different way of seeing the world we already live in?

Let's dive deep into the Chassidic understanding of Geulah (redemption), explaining how the teachings of the Baal Shem Tov and other tzaddikim reveal the hidden essence of reality. It's already here, just waiting to be uncovered. Drawing from the Alter Rebbe, Rashbi, and the Vitebsker Rebbe, we explore how Chassidus helps us build the spiritual vessels to live with Mashiach-consciousness now.
