## Resource

In Parshat Lech Lecha, Avraham Avinu begins the journey that defines what it means to be a Jew, and asks the question that still echoes through every generation: “במה אדע כי אירשנה” — “Hashem, how will I know that this Land is truly ours?” Rav Shlomo Katz and the chevra of Shirat David explore Reb Shlomo Carlebach’s teachings on the Even Shlomo , uncovering why Eretz Yisrael is the deepest and most complicated question in the world. Through the words of the Aish Kodesh, the Izhbitzer, and Reb Shlomo, we learn that the promise of the Land is not a guarantee — it’s a relationship. A relationship that can only survive when it rises מעל הבחירה — beyond choice. A connection that demands not just faith in Hashem, but a longing to hear directly from Him. #rsk-lech-lecha Takeaways: – The bond with the land of Israel mirrors the bond with Hashem — it only lasts when it’s beyond choice . – The hardest questions in faith aren’t a lack of belief; they’re part of how we stay in the conversation. – Our generation’s holy chutzpah — to want to hear directly from Hashem — is itself a sign of Geulah. – The question “Why is Eretz Yisrael so complicated?” isn’t a doubt — it’s a calling. ---------- For more Shuirim and Music from Rav Shlomo Katz, visit: https://ravshlomokatz.com Join Rav Shlomo Katz's WhatsApp Community: https://chat.whatsapp.com/KHKOhhPaeHx5Kb74WL9L9a?mode=ems_copy_t
