Rav Shlomo Katz opens the second chapter of Tikkun HaMedinah with tear-soaked eyes and a burning heart. In the wake of fresh funerals and a country staggering from pain, he brings us into the soul of Rav Ginsburgh’s piercing critique: the Zionist dream—beautiful as it was—suffered a spiritual breakdown when it cut itself off from its Mashiach core.
We explore why talk of peace without a redemptive vision isn’t just misguided—it’s dangerous. Why are our most well-meaning aspirations leading us to collapse? What does it mean that the vessels of the State were built without the spiritual maturity to hold the blazing light of return? And how do we fix it?
Rav Shlomo reminds us: the dream is still holy. But to heal it, we must infuse it with geulah-consciousness. This is not a rejection of Israel. It’s the deepest love for her purpose. And it’s a call to every Jew to wake up from the coma and return to the true identity we've almost forgotten.

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.
