5. The Strength to Daven
The Fire of the Aish Kodesh: Remembering the Piaseczner Rebbe with Rav Shlomo Katz
Manage episode 515728949 series 3697770
“We suffered the toughest hit of our whole generation. We have never been stronger.”
In the raw days after Oct 7, Rav Shlomo gathers the chevra to sing, weep, and find the strength to daven. Through niggunim (including the original “Oran” melody) and living Torah from the Piaseczner Rebbe—the Aish Kodesh, HY”D (may Hashem avenge his blood)—he speaks to the exhaustion, the waves of emotion, and the holy refusal to go numb.
This shiur leans on the Rebbe’s teaching that pain itself can become Torah, and on Tehillim’s promise: “On the day I call, You answer me; You embolden my soul.” We hear why learning gives koach while doom-scrolling drains it; why documenting who we are now will strengthen who we’ll be later; and how Am Yisrael’s awakened heart is restoring courage to the world.
Dedicated to the fallen and the wounded of Am Yisrael, HY”D, and to those protecting us on the front lines. May our tefillah grow stronger, and make us stronger, day after day.
