How do we know if we are truly moving forward in life or just walking in circles?
In this transformative shiur on Parshat Bechukotai, Rav Shlomo Katz explores the opening words "If you walk in My statutes." Drawing on the Beis Avraham of Slonim, we learn that the word Im (If) is actually a prayer from Hashem saying, "If only you would carve Me into your being."
Rav Shlomo shares a life-changing four-word teaching from Rabbi Moshe Weinberger: "Life can be good."
We explore the difference between living a life of Keri (coincidence) versus a life where God is "carved" (Chakuk) into our consciousness. When Hashem is engraved within us, we receive the blessings of rain "in its time," meaning we get exactly what we need, exactly when we need it, and we walk with Komemiyut—upright, with humble pride, knowing we are never alone.
