Shavuot: Preparing for Sinai with Rav Shlomo Katz

What if preparing for Shavuot isn’t just about learning more, but about wanting more?

Rav Shlomo Katz takes us into the depths of Rosh Chodesh Sivan, guided by the radiant lights of the Ohr HaChaim and Reb Tzadok HaKohen of Lublin. This day, often passed over quietly, is revealed as the Headquarters of Passion, the time when Am Yisrael arrives at the foot of Sinai and declares, “We’re here. We want this.”

The true avoda of this day is not about adding information, but awakening cheshek—holy yearning. Before Torah can be received, the heart has to burn.
