<p>Recorded on ערב יום הזיכרון, standing in the חלקה הצבאית of כפר עציון, Rav Shlomo Katz and the chevra of Shirat David reflect on what it means to stand among קדושים who gave everything for עם ישראל. Through the lens of חז״ל, the story of לוליאנוס ופפוס, and the halachic depth of מסירות נפש, a different picture of Yom HaZikaron begins to emerge.</p><p>This isn’t only a day of grief. It’s a day of gratitude. A day of clarity. And maybe most of all, a day that asks a question we can’t run from:</p><p>What are we doing with the lives they gave us?<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><br><strong>CHAPTERS<br>00:00 Opening remarks and gratitude to the audience<br>02:29 Personal reflections on Yom HaZikaron and pain<br>09:34 Studying Hilchos Milchamah VeShalom – page 47 focus<br>11:51 Gemara about the daughter of the Caesar in Lod<br>13:23 Analyzing the halachic permissibility of their actions<br>17:17 The profound level of Kiddush Hashem in Gan Eden<br>19:40 The Bach’s story about a poor boy at a wedding<br>23:51 Lessons on mesiras nefesh for today’s generation<br>26:53 Milchama Kiyumit: The existential war concept<br>32:57 Blessing the tzaddikim who saved Am Yisrael<br>34:42 Hope for Techiyat HaMetim and the Messianic era</strong></p>

<p>In this powerful conversation, <strong>Rav Shlomo Katz</strong> sits down with his dear friend <strong>Justin Pines</strong> for a special episode recorded for <strong>JBS Network</strong>, in honor of a very challenging upcoming <strong>Yom HaZikaron</strong> and <strong>Yom Ha’atzmaut</strong>.</p><p>Together, they explore the sacred transition between <strong>Yom HaZikaron</strong> and <strong>Yom Ha’atzmaut</strong> — the moment when a nation moves from mourning to renewal, from loss to life. Speaking with warmth and honesty, Rav Shlomo shares his personal experiences from <strong>October 7th and beyond</strong>, reflecting on what it means to lead, to grieve, and to believe in Am Yisrael during times of heartbreak.</p><p>Through stories, Torah, and music, he reveals how prayer can become a mirror of the soul, not just a way to reach Heaven, but a way to truly reach ourselves. He reminds us that <strong>teshuvah</strong>, the act of return, is not only spiritual but also national: a call to come home to our people, our land, and our purpose.</p>

<p>Rav Shlomo Katz asks a piercing question: What am I doing with Yom HaZikaron today?<br><br></p><p>Drawing from the <strong>Ben Ish Chai</strong>, the <strong>Arizal</strong>, and the <strong>Tanya</strong>, he explores the mystical meaning of mesirut nefesh—the willingness to give one’s life for the sanctification of God’s Name. Rav Shlomo reveals how, according to our sages, every soul that falls al kiddush Hashem creates a cosmic tikkun, a reunion between heaven and earth, cleansing the nation and opening the gates of redemption.</p><p>But he challenges us: if their sacrifice atones for the nation, how are we honoring it?</p><p> om HaZikaron, he teaches, is not only a national day of mourning. It is a spiritual day of awakening. It’s a time to remember that holiness and heroism are not abstract; they live in our choices, in how we fill the void left behind, and in how we serve Hashem with all our heart, even when it hurts.</p>
