3. The Chaos Before the Cure: Shattered Vessels and the Light Within

Why does it still feel like we’re breaking, even after coming home?

In this third shiur of Tikkun HaMedina, Rav Shlomo Katz introduces the Kabbalistic concept of Shevirat HaKeilim—the Shattering of the Vessels—and its direct relevance to the modern State of Israel. 

Drawing from Rav Ginsburgh’s Torah, we explore why divine light without proper vessels can lead to collapse, and how that collapse is not a failure, but part of the plan. 

From Camp Simcha to broken marriages, from national trauma to personal pain, we’re shown that healing only begins when we stop asking “Where was God?” and start asking, “Where are we?”

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

Rav Shlomo Katz and the chevra of Shirat David dive into one of the boldest and most transformative Torah texts of our generation, "Tikkun HaMedinah" (Rectifying the State of Israel) by Rav Yitzchak Ginsburgh.

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.

From politics to prophecy, this is a call to heal, to rebuild, and to reveal the holiness at the heart of the modern State of Israel.
