We often run away from loneliness, but what if it is the gateway to our deepest connection?
In this touching shiur, Rav Shlomo Katz explores the concept of being a "Ger" (Stranger) based on the Degel Machane Ephraim (The Baal Shem Tov's grandson). We learn that feeling like a stranger in this material world is actually a sign of spiritual health—it means you are a "resident" in the world of Truth.
Rav Shlomo discusses how to embrace the feeling of being an "outsider," using it not to disconnect, but to find the "pockets of loners" who are yearning for Hashem.
This episode encourages us to stop trying to fit into a world of "What" and start feeling at home with Hashem in the world of "Who," realizing that our loneliness is just a longing for our true home.
