Unshackle Me! | Shabbos Chanukah

from Chanukah · host Rav Shlomo Katz

What if the deepest miracles of Chanukah aren’t revealed in fire, but in freedom?In this shiur full of heart, music, memory, and truth, Rav Shlomo Katz takes us into the light of Chanukah, the soul of Shabbos, and the cry of the Jew who just wants to break free. We journey from ancient Greek philosophy to modern academia, from Rabbi Mordechai Singer z”l in Vietnam to the cries of tzaddikim by the candles.At the center is a single plea: “Please, Hashem… unshackle me.”In this Shiur:The danger of overthinking in the face of emunahThe exile of “Yavan” inside our own mindsHow humility, not intellect, is the real path to truthWhy crying out is more powerful than figuring it all out
