On Asara B’Tevet, which is also the yahrzeit of Reb Nosson of Breslov, Rav Shlomo Katz explores Reb Nosson’s tefillah about entering Eretz Yisrael with emunah shleimah and discovering the secret of patience.
Reb Nosson teaches that in the Land, holiness consumes us, not to erase who we are, but to reveal our truest selves. To live here is to be absorbed into emunah, into kedusha, and into the essence of the tzaddikim. Yet it requires a deep patience with ourselves and others, a tolerance born of emunah.
Rav Shlomo weaves Reb Nosson’s words with the Chasam Sofer’s teaching that Asara B’Tevet is a Yom HaDin shel Geulah, the “day of judgment for redemption,” urging us to notice the signs Hashem sends, to hold on to faith, and to let the Land itself teach us how to wait with grace.
