Chovas Hatalmidim

Rav Shlomo Katz and the chevra of Shirat David return to the Piaseczner Rebbe’s urgent plea—not just to educate the child’s mind, but to awaken their soul. 

The Rebbe warns that logic alone won’t win the battle for our children’s hearts; passion will. If we don't teach Torah in a way that ignites emotional excitement and deep connection, the hollow beauty of the outside world will inevitably take hold.

Rav Shlomo connects this message to the Ba'al Shem Tov’s original revolution: that real his'kashrus—real connection—comes not just from understanding, but from soulful attachment. We've become so head-focused, he says, that we’ve forgotten the Ba'al Shem Tov’s heart. This episode challenges parents and educators to ask: are we offering our children a Yiddishkeit that moves them? That speaks to their passions, their longings, their fight?

This is a must-listen for anyone committed to raising children with heart and depth in a world of endless distractions.
