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.
