The Shechinah is in Exile. Don’t Freak Out | Learning from Reb Usher Freund zt"l (14)

Description

Rav Shlomo Katz and the chevra of Shirat David learn a fierce, grounding letter from Reb Usher Freund: why the most confusing thoughts show up specifically in the holiest moments, and how that’s not a failure but a signal. From the Kohen Gadol’s risk in the Kodesh HaKodashim to David HaMelech’s “beheimos hayisi imach,” we’re taught to stop panicking, return to bitul, and let those thoughts flip into emunah peshutah. Galus HaShechinah isn’t abstract. It’s the ache of not feeling seen - in tefillah, in marriage, in self. The work is to notice, name, and tether the mind back to “Imach,” and to cry over the right things. Topics include: - Why “bad thoughts at the wrong time” often mean you’re close to a real aliyah - Bitul vs. despair: what ayin is and isn’t - Yom Kippur inside you: more kedushah = more vulnerability = more opportunity - Galus HaShechinah in everyday life: not being seen, and how to daven from there - Practical tools to reframe, not repress, and to turn panic into presence ---------- 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
