On the yahrzeit of R’ Levi Yitzchak of Berdichev—the defender and best friend of Am Yisrael—Rav Shlomo Katz and the chevra of Shirat David sing his niggun and open Kedushas Levi on Beresheet. Through stories of radical humility and boundless love (the “spit and smile,” being buried deep beneath the tzion, the Heichal HaZechut, the Chafetz Chaim insisting on hosting his descendants, and the Baal Shem Tov & Maggid at his bris), we taste the soul of the Berdichever.
Then we learn his teaching on “V’ha’aretz haytah tohu va’vohu.” Our daily avodah—done with dechilu u’rechimu (awe and love)—awakens the supernal middot and literally sustains and re-creates all worlds.
When we “think bigger” than box-checking, material cravings fade to tohu va’vohu, and the ikar shines. In a generation yearning for protection, may “Levi Yitzchak ben Sarah Sasha” open the gates of merit for Am Yisrael.
