        <![CDATA[<p>On Seder night, we don’t just tell the story of leaving Egypt. We repair what Egypt broke.</p><p>Drawing from a powerful ma’amar of Rav Avraham Tzvi Kluger, this shiur reveals how the four cups of wine are  part of a spiritual tikun that reaches back to the earliest cracks in humanity. From the generation of the flood to the sins of Cham, the raven, and the dog, something broke in how we saw ourselves. Pesach night gives us a chance to fix it.</p><p>Rav Shlomo Katz walks us through this multi-generational healing, showing how the act of drinking on this night reminds us of who we became and who we’re still becoming. It’s not about looking back with guilt. It’s about remembering we have the tools to move forward, not just for ourselves, but for the entire chain of generations that came before us.</p>]]>

The other begins to teach you how to dream.</p><p>In this powerful pre–Shevi’i shel Pesach shiur, Rav Shlomo Katz challenges us to look beyond survival. It’s not enough to escape exile. The question is: what now? What do we actually want from our lives, our Yiddishkeit, our future?</p><p>Drawing from Rav Shlomo Carlebach, Rav Itchie Meir Morgenstern, personal stories, and a raw letter from a doctor during the early days of COVID, this shiur confronts us with the uncomfortable truth: maybe we’ve been aiming too small. Maybe Hashem is asking us to want more — not just for ourselves, but for the whole world.</p>]]>

        <![CDATA[<p>It’s always there, sitting quietly on the Seder plate. A simple egg. But what’s it really doing there?</p><p>Rav Shlomo Katz delves deeply into the soul of this mysterious symbol, following Rav Kluger's teachings. Why is the egg a sign of mourning, yet placed front and center on the night of redemption? Why does Tisha B’Av always fall out on the same night of the week as the Seder? What’s the deeper connection between exile and geulah, between heartbreak and hope?</p><p>The egg whispers a hidden truth: Hashem’s love was never severed, even as we were sent into galut. On this night of freedom, the egg invites us to remember that every shattered moment holds the potential for reunion, for rebirth, and for love that lasts forever.</p>]]>

What’s this night trying to tell us?</p><p>Join Rav Shlomo Katz and enter the hidden world of the night before Pesach. With the voices of Reb Nosson of Breslov and R’ Shlomo Carlebach echoing through the room, we learn how this is not just a night of cleaning and checking. This is a night of transformation.</p><p>We begin to burn not only the chametz in our homes, but the chametz in our minds: the belief that nature is fixed, that our past defines us, that we’re stuck in darkness. On this night, we declare: darkness is an illusion. Night can shine like day. And within the cracks of our stories, those places that once hurt, we find the deepest light.</p><p>The night of Bedikat Chametz is the beginning of redemption, not just for our homes, but for our souls.</p>]]>

        <![CDATA[<p>Seder night is the most prepared-for night of the year, and yet, somehow, the night we often feel least prepared for. That contradiction? It’s not a mistake. It’s the holy essence of the night itself.</p><p>In this shiur, we explore the dance between hishtadlus and surrender, structure and surprise, longing and gratitude. With stories, soul, and laughter, Rav Shlomo takes us deep into the contradictions that define Pesach—from parenting to prayer, from planning sedarim to missing flights. Real freedom, it turns out, comes not when everything makes sense but when we can ask the question <em>"Why me?"</em> and be okay not having an answer.</p>]]>

Rav Shlomo Katz dives into the profound teachings of the Torah to explore the rasha’s provocative query: “What is this service to you?” Uncover how this question, far from mere rebellion, mirrors a universal struggle within every soul — the yearning to find meaning in our toil. Discover how Pesach’s rituals, from reclining to recounting the Exodus, transform our work from slavery’s burden to a divine partnership in creation.

Drawing on the heartfelt teachings of Rav Kluger, Rav Shlomo Katz explores the profound origins of the Pesach Seder, held in Egypt amidst oppression and fear. Discover how the Israelites’ unwavering <em>emunah</em>— believing in Hashem’s promise as if it had already happened — drew down divine redemption. Uncover the secret of that first Seder’s rituals, from the Pesach offering to matzah, which turned slaves into a nation of faith.

        <![CDATA[<p>R’ Shlomo Carlebach a’h</p><p>Everyone wants to be free, but how do I start believing that I could become free? How do I get my mind out of Egypt?</p><p>The Zohar Hakadosh says that a baby does not know whom their father or mother are until it eats bread. That means that bread gives strength to my mind to be connected to those who love me. Only after I eat bread do I know what life is all about, do I know whom my father and mother are. Now listen to something even deeper. Matza gives my mind strength too, but it’s working from another side. Eating matza gives me strength to be connected to myself and to all who are important to me – but this connection is done without thinking about it. How so?</p><p>Reb Nachman says there are two kinds of minds. There is a slave mind and a free mind. A slave mind always has ten thousand excuses to not get out of something. Everybody is drowning in something, Egypt is all about getting out of what you drowned in. Everyone is tied to something, chained to something. We need to have serious compassion on our souls to just get out of it.</p><p>We all go through plagues, witnessing tremendous miracles, but so many of us are still in Egypt. To really leave the things you are tied to, to leave all the things you had excuses for is the greatest test in the world. Everyone talks about how beautiful it would be if they could set themselves free from whatever is holding them back, but unfortunately most people can’t let go.</p><p>How do you get out of Egypt? “Bechipazon” (Shmos 12:11). You have to get out fast. How do you run out of Egypt? Reb Nachman says something unbelievably deep. How fast can I walk while I am thinking? Very slow. When you are talking to someone and are engrossed in conversation, you walk very slowly. But if you want to run, you have to stop thinking.</p><p>I must remember that I am not my mind, I am stronger than that. I have to stop my mind. So therefore Reb Nachman says that matza is called the bread of poverty. We are not necessarily talking about poor people can’t afford bread, we are talking about poverty of the mind.This means that in a good way - I have no mind . The Gemara says Ein Ani Ela Beda’as (Tractate Nedarim 21:1). A poor man is someone who doesn't think. But on Pesach I flip this concept over. On Pesach I am so strong, I say to myself 'I want to be poor. I got to get out of Egypt, fast’. If I stop thinking – I become poor, I have no mind. I might be poor, but this is the sign of utmost strength. What’s the sign of having a strong mind? When my mind says to me 'stop thinking, right now there is no time for thinking, just do it’. What does Matza do to my mind? My mind tells me 'let go, let go... it's okay, I know what to do'.</p><p><a href="https://soundcloud.com/tags/rebbe%20nachman">rebbe nachman</a>, <a href="https://soundcloud.com/tags/reb%20tzadok">reb tzadok</a>, <a href="https://soundcloud.com/tags/shlomo%20katz">shlomo katz</a>, <a href="https://soundcloud.com/tags/carlebach">carlebach</a>, <a href="https://soundcloud.com/tags/torah">torah</a>, <a href="https://soundcloud.com/tags/pesach">pesach</a>, <a href="https://soundcloud.com/tags/matza">matza</a>, <a href="https://soundcloud.com/tags/chametz">chametz</a></p>]]>
