22. Nothing Stands in the Way of Will

Faith and holy pleasure are not enough. They might open the heart, but only will (ratzon) gets things moving.

Rav Shlomo Katz unpacks Rav Ginsburgh’s third level of the superconscious soul: ratzon, the raw, unstoppable drive of the inner self. It's what takes belief and longing and transforms them into action. We explore how true desire doesn't just yearn. It recruits every power of the self to manifest redemption. But even holy desire can destroy if it’s not channeled. That's why it must be filtered through intellect, formed into vessels, and deployed with clarity.

The question isn't whether you believe in the Geulah. The question is: how badly do you want it, and what are you doing about it?

This series is a spiritual and intellectual journey through the soul of Am Yisrael, the identity of a Jewish state, and the deep inner work needed to align national destiny with divine will.
