Rav Shlomo Katz and the women of Shirat David begin this new series with a spark from Uman — one of those moments you can’t fully explain, but you also can’t ignore. A return to Rebbe Nachman’s world, not as a “chassidishe vibe,” but as a remedy for our generation.
Rav Shlomo shares why the older Breslover chassidim cried when asked, “Who is the Rebbe for you?”, and why Rebbe Nachman’s Torah speaks directly to anxiety, inner pressure, and the longing for yishuv hadaas.
Then we learn Sichos HaRan 77:
The world is filled with machlokes between nations, between neighbors, in the home, and even inside a person. And sometimes the most shocking place to feel the war… is when you’re finally alone.
So why do we feel “meshuga”?
Because we’re not one simple thing. We’re a whole world. Many “nations” inside, pulling in different directions. And the goal isn’t to deny it. The goal is to bring shalom into it.
When you understand what’s happening inside you, you stop being ashamed of your complexity, and you finally get a direction for real avodah.
