What if the peace we’ve been chasing… isn’t peace at all?
Rav Shlomo Katz unpacks Rav Ginsburgh’s piercing critique of the modern “peace process” and offers a radically deeper Torah vision of Shalom.
From stickers on bombed-out homes in the south to broken promises and political spin, Rav Shlomo asks: How did the holiest word in our tradition get twisted into a vessel for violence, confusion, and surrender? And how do we reclaim it?
We return to the essence: real Shalom begins inside—between body and soul, between humility and holy pride. With searing honesty, Rav Shlomo reveals how distorted ga'avah (ego) has eclipsed the light of the Jewish soul, even in our national institutions. And yet, beneath it all, there's still a spark of Divine light waiting to be restored if we’re willing to look deeply, with courage and love.
This episode is a call to reawaken our inner Yosef, to remember where we come from, and to lead from that place. It's not just about policy. It's about emunah, responsibility, and the sacred work of becoming the kind of people who are worthy of real peace.
