Rectifying the State of Israel: Rav Shlomo Katz on Rav Ginsburgh's Tikkun HaMedinah

What needs to be done to fix the State of Israel? 

Everyone has ideas. Kick out the Arabs, build a Beit HaMikdash, and form a Torah government. But Rav Shlomo Katz asks: what kind of thoughts are these? Are they just emotional reactions, or are they grounded in Torah?

Rav Shlomo breaks down Rav Ginsburgh’s teaching on the difference between the “father” and “mother” forms of intellect. One gives the spark. The other turns it into something real. One is vision. The other is development. Without both, nothing meaningful can be built—either personally or nationally.

This is about what real, Torah-based thinking looks like—and why the Jewish people can’t afford to keep reacting from the heart without a mind rooted in Torah.
