Terumah: How Do I Make Something that is Mamesh about God?

from Beis Avraham of Slonim on the Parsha with Rav Shlomo Katz · host Rav Shlomo Katz

We all want to do things "Lishmah" (for the sake of Heaven), but what does that actually mean? Rav Shlomo Katz delves into the Beis Avraham's radical definition of prayer and giving. We learn that true prayer isn't asking God to save me, but asking God to save the "Godly spark" that is suffering within me. Drawing on the confrontation between Yehuda and Yosef, Rav Shlomo explains that Yehuda's plea worked because he wasn't asking for himself—he was asking "Bi Adoni," knowing that the Divine presence was within the ruler. This episode challenges us to shift our perspective from "God, help me with my problems" to "God, surely it hurts You to see Your child in this state—save Yourself."--------------------------------------------------------------------------------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
