You can't transform the darkness until you're brave enough to call it what it is.
Rav Shlomo Katz leads us into the heart of Rav Ginsburgh’s vision: geulah begins with awareness. Not slogans. Not comfort. But a willingness to face the painful spiritual darkness hovering over the Land, and over our hearts
.
Through the lens of prophecy, the Holocaust, and the raw trauma of modern Israel, Rav Shlomo explores what it means to say “kamti—I rose up” while still sitting in darkness. We dive into the difference between rejecting the State and redeeming it; between giving up and re-digging the wells that were clogged by cynicism, confusion, and exile-thinking.
We’re not waiting for new light. The light is already here. The question is, are we building vessels deep enough to hold 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.
