In these episodes, Rav Shlomo explores the halachic, biblical, and inner spiritual foundations of war, courage, national responsibility, emunah, and redemption. Through the lens of Tanach, Chazal, and the living reality of Am Yisrael, this series asks: How is a Jew meant to think, feel, pray, and act in a time of מלחמה? What does true gevurah look like? How do we fight evil without losing humility? And how do war, mesirus nefesh, and miracles become part of the unfolding geulah?","last_synced_at":"2026-06-25T00:17:10.905999+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-laws-of-war-and-peace-with-rav-shlomo-katz-7750010"},"episodes":[{"title":"19.
