What is the difference between an external battle and an internal struggle?
In this profound session, Rav Shlomo Katz explores the opening verse: "When you go out to war against your enemies." Drawing on the Tanya and the concept of Brit (Covenant) from Rabbi Yitzchak Ginsburgh, we learn that a person cannot truly conquer the "world" until they have settled the internal war of "Am I really sure?"
Rav Shlomo discusses the debilitating nature of doubt (Amalek) and shares a personal encounter on a plane regarding a Persian Jew who lived with the simple clarity: "We have a Covenant."
This episode is a call to move beyond the exhausting daily decision-making of faith and to enter a "Brit"—a state where our commitment to Hashem is locked in, allowing us to finally go out and shine.
