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"},"episode":{"title":"2.

But they are biblical events , unfolding in front of our eyes. Through the lens of Hilchos Milchamah VeShalom by Rav Shmuel Eliyahu, Rav Shlomo walks through the miracles of 1948, 1967, 1973, and the present moment, showing how again and again Am Yisrael has lived through the fulfillment of prophecy. But together with that miracle comes a warning: when Jews forget that Hashem is the One fighting behind the scenes, pride, confusion, and spiritual blindness begin to take hold. This is a piercing shiur about prophecy, victory, gaavah, focus, bitul, and the responsibility of building a life in Eretz Yisrael that is conscious of geulah. To live here truthfully is not just to survive history. It is to become aligned with what Hashem is revealing through it. ---------- 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 CHAPTERS 00:00 Opening announcements and dedications 01:11 Speaker's stance on inviting attendees 02:30 Wars framed as biblical events 05:34 1948 War: First miracle and victory 09:29 1967 Six-Day War: Arab attack and Israeli triumph 21:03 Living consciously within prophetic destiny 25:50 Post-1967 Empowerment and Energy 27:16 Great Wisdom Emerging in Israel 28:35 Remembering Who Works Behind the Scenes 30:03 All Success Comes from Hashem 31:25 Post-Six-Day War Depression and Chillul Hashem 32:31 Rebbe’s Warnings About the Aftermath 33:46 Pride, Forgetting Hashem, and Klipas Yishmael 35:03 Ignored Intelligence Warnings 36:29 1973 War: Early Setbacks and Miracles 38:18 Vatican Involvement After 196…","meta_description":"Rav Shlomo Katz and the chevra of Shirat David learn that the wars of modern Israel are not merely political or historical events.
