No One Owns Me | Reb Shlomo Carlebach on Bo

Description

Parshas Bo is not just the story of leaving Egypt. It’s the inner blueprint of freedom. Rav Shlomo Katz and the chevra of Shirat David opens an Even Shlomo that sounds “insane” at first: why does the Torah say “וישאלו איש מאת רעהו” — “ask from your friend” — when it’s describing Egyptians who enslaved us? Why call them re’ehu at all? Because the night of Yetzias Mitzrayim wasn’t only an exit from suffering. It was a flash of Mashiach reality: a moment where Hashem’s light was so clear that no human being could be anyone’s master. Not Pharoah over Egypt. Not fear over your heart. Not people, not pressure, not addiction, not the invisible “dominions” that run our moods and reactions. From the Alter Rebbe fainting at his Seder table, to what freedom looked like in the tunnels of Gaza, to what it means to carry da’as Hashem until it spreads outward, this shiur reframes geulah as the deepest kind of relationship: Hashem shining into us, and us shining back. ---------- For more Shuirim and Music from Rav Shlomo Katz, visit: https://ravshlomokatz.com Join Rav Shlomo Katz's WhatsApp Community: https://chat.whatsapp.com/KHKOhhPaeHx5Kb74WL9L9a?mode=ems_copy_t Chapters 00:00 Intro and Sponsor Shoutouts 01:31 Choosing a Torah Topic for Parshas Bo 03:26 Who Is the “Re’ehu” in the Commandment? 04:40 Lenny Solomon Story and Cultural References 07:14 Flipping the Traditional Pshat 08:37 The Alter Rebbe’s Leil Seder 12:51 Modern Freedom and the Possibility of Geula 20:45 Egyptians’ View of the Night of Exodus 24:17 Moshiach and the Filling of Daas 25:59 Daas of Hashem Required for Global Peace 27:40 Egyptians Recognized Hashem as Their Master 28:42 Understanding “Re’ehu” — Asking an Equal 30:55 One Night of Moshiach-Like Equality 32:28 Breslover Chassid’s Tears and Dance 36:24 Filling Ourselves with Daas to Bring Redemption
