Before we can unify anything in this world, we have to separate.
Rav Shlomo Katz enters the next dimension of Da’at—its left side, the power of havdalah, of holy separation. Without knowing how to distinguish between truth and falsehood, between light and darkness, between Yisrael and the nations, we’re lost.
Rav Shlomo reminds us that even the most radiant light is meaningless if we don’t first recognize the dark. It’s not judgment. It’s clarity. It’s not nationalism. It’s integrity. You can’t build a Medinat Yisrael that blesses the whole world unless you first affirm what it is and what it’s not.
Drawing from Rav Ginsburgh’s deep Torah, Rav Shlomo shows how Da’at empowers us to peel back confusion and reveal the essential good. That’s how we protect ourselves from being manipulated by friendly enemies or shamed by our own ignorance. And it’s how we bring true geulah: by seeing clearly, speaking honestly, and knowing exactly who we are.
