Shemot | Have We Woken Up Yet?

from Even Shlomo - Rav Shlomo Carlebach zt"l on the Weekly Parsha · host Rav Shlomo Katz

What happens when an enemy loses every shred of humanity?In a deeply personal and vulnerable Shemot shiur on Reb Shlomo’s birthday, Rav Shlomo Katz and the chevra of Shirat David confront the painful reality of our generation. Drawing from the Izhbitzer Rebbe (Mei HaShiloach), we explore the verse "The King of Egypt died." We learn that this does not merely refer to a physical death, but to the death of humaneness itself—a state where the enemy is no longer capable of basic human feeling.From the tunnels of Gaza to the hallways of the Knesset, we discuss the shattering of Western assumptions and the necessity of returning to the "Har Sinai Values" that define true morality. Rav Shlomo challenges us to look beyond the confusion of Western culture and "woke" terminology to ask the hard question: Have we actually woken up? We discuss the danger of falling back into the mindset of "it wasn't that bad" and the necessity of screaming out to Hashem. Featuring a powerful story from Rav Soloveitchik regarding the sanctity of life and insights from Rabbi Shlomo Riskin on the modern-day worship of Molech, this episode is a call to clear the fog, choose our side, and realize that true redemption begins when we stop tolerating the intolerable.----------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
