This Year, For REAL - והגדת לבנך | Shabbat HaGadol Drasha 5786

Description

There are years when the Seder feels familiar…and there are years when it asks something completely new of us. This is one of those years. In this deeply personal Shabbos HaGadol drasha, recorded before Shabbos so it could be shared with everyone, Rav Shlomo Katz goes straight to the heart of והגדת לבנך: what does it actually mean to tell over the story this year? Not just to our children… but to ourselves. Drawing from the Beis Yaakov of Izhbitzer and the words of Yeshayahu — בעשותך נוראות אשר לא נקוה — we’re invited into a different kind of emunah. Not just believing that Hashem can save us, but freeing ourselves from needing to understand how. From war, uncertainty, and unimaginable נסיונות…to the possibility of a ישועה greater than anything we could ever dream of, this isn’t about telling the same story better. It’s about telling a completely different story. One where we stop limiting Hashem and begin to live and teach, with true cheirus. May we be zocheh this year to sit at the Seder as truly free people — and to sing a שירה חדשה. ---------- 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 Opening niggun & introduction 03:00 A new kind of Shabbos HaGadol 26:52 A greater salvation beyond expectations 29:12 Two approaches to tefillah: asking vs trusting 30:21 Moving from request to certainty 31:34 War realities & unimaginable yeshuos 33:46 Chinuch: what we really give over 38:38 A new song & vision of freedom
