Vayigash | Who Are the Kodesh Kodashim Jews?

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

Parshat Vayigash is the moment the Ishbitzer says is the closest we can taste in this world to what it will feel like when Moshiach reveals himself.Because “Ani Yosef” isn’t just a plot twist. It’s the revelation that everything that looked like hester panim… everything that felt like an enemy… everything that seemed like punishment… was actually part of the process that “squeezed” a deeper YOU out of you.In this shiur, Rav Shlomo Katz and the chevra of Shirat David dive into the Even Shlomo which opens a daring question:If not every Jew is always living on the level of kodesh… could it be that every Jew is still Kodesh Kodashim?We explore:Why the Kodesh Kodashim is in Binyamin’s portion (not Yosef’s)The difference between being “holy” vs being Holy of HoliesWhy sinas chinam is uniquely incompatible with Kodesh KodashimReb Carlebach's radical lens: the Ba’al Teshuva doesn’t just need the Mikdash. He builds itWhat forgiveness looks like on the level of kodesh… versus kodesh kodashim, where the whole story dissolves----------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#rsk-vayigash
