And maybe that is exactly why this Torah had to be learned now.Rav Shlomo Katz and the women of Shirat David turn to Rebbe Nachman’s teaching on yishuv hadaat — settling the mind — and ask a piercing question: what are the fears that truly threaten us, and what are the fears that only seem to control us? In a moment when danger is real, the contrast becomes sharper. We begin to notice how much of our daily anxiety comes not from what can actually harm us, but from stories, panic, conditioning, and the body’s old memories.And yet, in the middle of all this, something else is being revealed: a hidden strength, a deep composure, a new kind of perspective. We see it in ourselves. We see it in our children. We see it in Am Yisrael.This is a shiur about war, trauma, fear, taavot, breath, choice, and the possibility of becoming more settled — not after the chaos ends, but right in the middle of it.Maybe one of the gifts that can emerge from this war is this: to finally recognize what deserves our fear… and what never did.----------For more Shuirim and Music from Rav Shlomo Katz, visit: https://ravshlomokatz.comJoin Rav Shlomo Katz's WhatsApp Community: https://chat.whatsapp.com/KHKOhhPaeHx5Kb74WL9L9a?mode=ems_copy_tCHAPTERS00:00 Opening Dedication and Sponsor Acknowledgment02:38 Kids as a Generation of Ninjas03:40 Reacting to Sirens and Shelter Procedures10:43 Understanding Anxiety About Anxiety13:41 Personal Story of Imagined Threat15:31 Yetzer Hara Analogy and Facing Desires23:43 Mind-Body Disconnect and Rewiring25:24 Cold Plunges as Physical Barrier Breaking26:59 Scaredy-cat Fears and Nonsense Anxiety29:08 Irrational Fear Before the Mind Processes30:48 Siren Warnings and Trauma-induced Panic31:58 Distinguishing Fear from Desire to Control36:40 War-time Sirens and PTSD Reminders38:37...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/bX2nZ1g2EKvVMmoEaELW21_sHsygmoXEAnrqUq2lr2I/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS8zNDY3/ZWQzNDIzZmQ1Y2Nm/OTkyNGIxZjI1YmFh/NzRhZS5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
