There’s no greater kindness than clarity.
Rav Shlomo Katz draws from a 1969 sicha of the Lubavitcher Rebbe to teach one of the most urgent lessons for our generation: the ability to distinguish between a lover and an enemy. Not everyone who smiles at you wants your good. And not everyone who challenges you is your foe. Without Da’at—clear, inner, Torah-rooted knowledge—we’re prone to catastrophic confusion.
Rav Shlomo journeys through Tanach and modern history, from the tragic story of King Achav to today's Israeli leadership, showing how misplaced mercy and misread alliances have cost us dearly. With love for Am Yisrael and compassion for all of humanity, he invites us to mature our vision and stop projecting our goodness onto those who would harm us.
Da’at means knowing who we are. And from there, recognizing who truly stands with us, and who doesn't.
