Rav Shlomo Katz clarifies the critical distinction between \"Sadness/Depression\" (Atzvut) and a \"Broken Heart\" (Lev Nishbar) based on Sichos Haran #41 and #42. We learn that sadness comes from the spleen (ego/anger) and leads to paralysis, while a broken heart comes from love and leads to connection.Rav Shlomo explains Rebbe Nachman's advice to set aside one hour a day for a broken heart (during Hisbodedus) but to be happy for the other 23 hours. This episode is a manual for emotional health, teaching us how to cry out to Hashem without falling into the pit of despair.","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/WNaYHvQ5VobOZmTSrgNvlkwdL49mdjbzZL46quSdkg0/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9jNWJh/OWQ3NDc4ZWQ5MzAw/ZjZiMmVmZjlhZTBh/NmMwMC5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
