21. The Taste of Shabbos Before Shabbos

The world is living in a state of Erev Shabbos—Friday afternoon energy, filled with anticipation, tension, and the quiet buzz of preparation.

Rav Shlomo Katz guides us through Rav Ginsburgh’s teachings on oneg—holy pleasure—as a super-conscious faculty of the soul, and how it allows us to taste redemption before it arrives.

We explore how the awareness that “Mashiach is within me” brings not just purpose, but a deep, almost irrational joy—a foretaste of geula itself.

As we stand at the edge of history’s Shabbos, Rav Ginsburgh invites us to see every spiritual spark, every niggun, every act of faith as part of the unfolding redemption.

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.
