Longing for Yerushalayim from Los Angeles | Finding Light in the Darkest Places

How do we maintain the light of Yerushalayim even in the darkest, stormiest places?Rav Shlomo Katz shares a deeply personal shiur from Los Angeles, exploring the soul's enduring longing for connection and the profound meaning of the Arizal's mandate to love one's neighbor.Far beyond the Western obsession with measurable achievements, Rav Shlomo reveals how the simple yearning for Hashem and focusing on sweeping our own inner chambers—a teaching from Rav Kook about clearing our own chametz—can ignite our spiritual lives.Drawing from heart-wrenching, firsthand accounts of leading Hallel at the shiva for 14-year-old Hallel Yaffa Ariel, and a miraculous, rain-drenched Chanukah lighting in Jerusalem alongside the families of terror victims, this episode proves that the light and faith of Am Yisrael can never be extinguished.----------For more Shuirim and Music from Rav Shlomo Katz, visit: https://ravshlomokatz.comJoin Rav Shlomo Katz's WhatsApp Community: https://chat.whatsapp.com/KHKOhhPaeHx5Kb74WL9L9a?mode=ems_copy_t
