Nothing Can Stop a Jew Who Knows What He Wants | Reb Shlomo Carlebach on Shelach

Description

Shelach | Nothing Can Stop a Yid Who Knows What He Wants As Parshat Shelach confronts us once again with the story of the Meraglim, Rav Shlomo Katz and the chevra of Shirat David uncover what may be the deepest question hidden beneath their report. Were the spies really afraid? Drawing from the Even Shlomo, Rav Shlomo suggests that the issue was not fear at all. The issue was רצון. Because if there is something you truly want — something your life depends on — nothing can stop you. Obstacles only reveal uncertainty in the connection. When desire is absolute, doubt disappears. In this powerful shiur, Rav Shlomo explores the difference between responsibility and ratzon, the deeper meaning of אין דבר עומד בפני הרצון, the spiritual root of the Meraglim's mistake, and why Eretz Yisrael remains the ultimate test of what Am Yisrael truly wants. Through stories of parents risking everything for their children, hostages who discovered hidden strengths, the Six-Day War, Oslo, and the eternal longing for Yerushalayim, this episode becomes a meditation on the question that every Jew must eventually ask: What do I want so deeply that nothing in the world could stop me? ---------- 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 & Opening Blessings 02:37 Identifying the Core Issue of Today’s Shiur 13:17 When Obstacles Reveal a Flaw in Our Connection 14:36 The Unstoppable Drive: Jumping Into a Stormy Ocean 17:07 A Mother’s Heroic Act in a Car Accident 23:38 Lessons from the Meraglim’s Report 26:47 Reordering Responsibility and Ratzon
