Come Before the King | Purim in a Time of War
<p>Recorded live on Zoom in the midst of war here in Eretz Yisrael, Rav Shlomo Katz and the chevra of Shirat David enter Ta’anit Esther with open hearts and trembling emunah.</p><p>We begin with niggunim — Kulanu Ke’echad, Ayeh Mekom Kevodo, Avo El HaMelech — and move into the deeper battlefield of Purim: not just the destruction of Haman, but the removal of machshevet Haman.</p><p>What is the “thought of Haman”? Why does Esther insist that even after victory, something deeper must be uprooted? Why is the only tefillah that is always answered the request for <strong>emunah peshuta</strong>?</p><p>In a time of missiles and miracles, Rav Shlomo speaks about:</p><ul><li>The illusion of political correctness as modern avodah zarah</li><li>The difference between physical victory and spiritual freedom</li><li>Arur Haman = Baruch Mordechai = Emunah Peshuta (502)</li><li>Hisbodedus as the weapon of this generation</li><li>Vision — not for 20 years from now, but for right now</li></ul><p>This is a Purim shiur for a generation standing at a turning point in Jewish history. Come before the King. Ask for simple faith.

Who is an Evyon?
<p>Rav Shlomo Katz and the chevra of Shirat David continue Rav Kluger’s journey into the pnimiyus of Purim, this time through <strong>Matanos La’Evyonim</strong> and the question: <strong>Who is an “evyon”?</strong> </p><p>Rav Shlomo explains why Mordechai specifically established this mitzvah — to remind every Jew that a רגע לפני הישועה, we were all in a state of “evyon,” totally dependent on Hashem’s saving grace.</p><p>From there, the shiur opens a deeper door: the hidden roots of <strong>taavas mamon</strong> (the pull of money), the Gemara about galus and adding geirim, the Baal Shem Tov’s language of <strong>lifting sparks</strong>, and Rebbe Nachman’s teaching on <strong>70 souls / 70 languages, </strong>and how “concealment before revelation” works like cracking a klipah to reach the fruit.</p><p>A Purim shiur about money… that turns into a shiur about humility, dependence on Hashem, and the inner תיקון that makes redemption possible.</p><p>----------<br>For more Shuirim and Music from Rav Shlomo Katz, visit: https://ravshlomokatz.com<br>Join Rav Shlomo Katz's WhatsApp Community: https://chat.whatsapp.com/KHKOhhPaeHx5Kb74WL9L9a?mode=ems_copy_t</p><p>CHAPTERS<br>00:00 Opening and Sponsorship<br>02:07 Money (Taivas Mamon) in Rebbe Nachman’s Teachings<br>10:54 Gemara on Adding Converts (Pesachim)<br>13:36 Lifting Sparks and Adding Gerim<br>19:26 70 Souls and the Roots of Israel<br>22:36 70 Languages and Their Negative Traits<br>23:43 Galus of 70 Languages as Spiritual Test<br>25:12 Ethiopian Women and the Birth Analogy<br>29:25 Rebbe Nachman on Pre-Revelation Soul Journey<br>34:21 Breaking the Klipah to Reach the Fruit<br>43:09 Mordechai’s Call to Give to the Poor</p>

The Pnimuyis of Shaloch Manos (Part 2)
<p>Rav Shlomo Katz and the chevra of Shirat David continue Rav Kluger’s gorgeous ma’amar on Purim, and go deeper into the pnimiyus of <strong>Mishloach Manos</strong> as a preparation for <strong>Beis HaMikdash Sheini</strong>.</p><p>We open with “Shoshanat Yaakov,” then step right back into the sugya: Achashveirosh’s feast isn’t just a party — it’s temple-consciousness. Esther’s “<strong>לך כנוס את כל היהודים</strong>” is not only about survival; it’s about <strong>waking up</strong> and becoming a people again, so we can return and build.</p><p>Then comes the wild historical reveal from <strong>Sefer Ezra</strong>: during the Purim era, there was already a <strong>mizbe’ach</strong> in Yerushalayim, with korbanos happening, even while the <strong>Heichal</strong> still wasn’t built. Meaning: something can be “alive” before it’s “complete”… and unity is the foundation that makes the building possible.</p><p>From there, we turn to the wine: why “ad d’lo yada”? Not as an escape, but as a holy breaking of the inner mechitzos that keep us isolated. We bring in Rebbe Nachman’s yesod of <strong>yishuv hada’as</strong>, the fight against modern distraction, and the line between a Purim that opens the heart… and a Purim where Haman is still sitting at the seudah.</p><p>Yasher koach, and may we be zocheh to a Purim of real achdus, the kind that can hold a Beis HaMikdash.<br>----------<br>For more Shuirim and Music from Rav Shlomo Katz, visit: https://ravshlomokatz.com<br>Join Rav Shlomo Katz's WhatsApp Community: https://chat.whatsapp.com/KHKOhhPaeHx5Kb74WL9L9a?mode=ems_copy_t</p><p>CHAPTERS<br>00:00 Opening Niggun and Greeting<br>02:44 Opening the Sefer and Starting Reish Nun<br>03:50 Mishloach Manos as Preparation for the Second Beis Hamikdash<br>06:02 Achashverosh’s Feast and Its Temple Implications<br>07:22 Esther’s Directive to Gather the Jews<br>17:03 Ezra’s Altar While the Temple Remains Unbuilt<br>19:27 Unity, Mishloach Manos, and the Path to Rebuilding<br>25:45 Rav Kluger on Wine Drinking Purpose<br>27:59 Video Testimony and Emotional Overload<br>29:43 Three Cardinal Sins and Yishuv HaDa'at<br>32:51 Ribo’s Song and Modern Distractions<br>34:04 Practicing Hisbodedus for Yishuv HaDa'at<br>35:25 Ayahuasca and Short-Term Yishuv HaDa'at<br>36:31 Purpose of Desires in Rebbe Nachman<br>38:03 Intellectual Isolation and Haman’s Role<br>40:38 When Purim Drinking Fails Yishuv HaDa'at<br>42:44 Building a Beit Hamikdash and Unity</p>
