How Does One Access Secrets of the Torah? | Lag Ba'Omer 🔥

Description

There’s a level of Torah that you can understand. And then there’s a level that you can only receive. In this Lag BaOmer shiur, Rav Shlomo Katz and the chevra of Shirat David enter the world of Hod she’b’Hod — the middah of אמת, humility, and the כוח to say: I don’t fully understand… but I’m ready to receive. Based on a teaching from Rav Yitzchak Ginsburgh, we explore why the gateway to the deepest secrets of Torah isn’t brilliance — it’s ביטול. Through stories, real-life examples, and a powerful preparation for tonight’s gathering with the tzaddik, we begin to understand what it means to become a כלי for something beyond ourselves. ------------ 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 Greetings and Memorial Prayers 03:20 Excitement and Nerves for Tonight's Event with Rav Ginsburgh 06:39 Introducing the Sephira Hod for Lag Ba'Omer 12:01 Exploring the Multiple Meanings of Hod 13:27 Admitting the Truth: Modeh al Ha'emet 15:45 Aviad Bachar Example of Political Admission 18:28 Prerequisite Admission Before Studying Torah 20:16 Intellectual vs. Secret Torah: Different Intelligences 26:23 Avoiding Destination Thinking, Embracing the Journey 27:58 The Mystery of Noam Elimelech’s Knowledge 29:16 Simple Jews and Their Strong Faith 31:20 Modeh al Ha’emes and Viduy 32:43 The Dangers of the Middah Hod 35:30 Reb Sholom Brod and the Simple Seekers 38:23 Gratitude for Knowledge and Ego Vanquishing 40:20 Experiencing the Tzaddik’s Presence
