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.

Rav Shlomo Katz confronts the dire consequences of allowing Chillul Hashem, drawing from the Biblical story of Pinchas. When Jews remain silent in the face of evil, evidenced by atrocities like those post-October 7, 2023, they enable desecration of Hashem’s name, inviting divine judgment. Through Torah sources and the example of Pinchas’ zeal, this episode reveals how nekama restores Hashem’s honor, not through personal vengeance but through love-driven action.

Join the call to awaken from the galut coma, reject Western distortions, and uphold divine justice.
