Kumi Ori: Living the Redemption with Rav Shlomo Katz

Are you blessed to understand the language the inner cry of this generation?In order to find healing in our time, we must be done with symptom checks and go to the root of it all.

The heart is always waiting for the mind to choose to attach it self to it's destiny consciously. This is a geula filled life.torah, shlomo katz, geula, shechina, zionism, idf, shirat david, efrat

Based on the teachings of Rav Ruvain Sasson, we learn about the importance of believing in your own song, b'shem kol yisrael.geula, redemption, rav kook, shlomo katz, shirat david

Why is it that in our generation, there is a longing to discover what our own personal shlichus is, more than any other generation?torah, eretz yisrael, Zionism, shlomo katz, shirat david, ruvain sasson, rav kook

What happens when I speak about Eretz Yisrael in a manner which gives room for the Schechina's invitation to come home?shlomo katz, torah, shirat david, halacha, rav kook

What is the main driving force behind the ingathering of exiles that has taken place in our time?What does the term 'light of Shechina' even mean?In today's class, Rav Sasson helps us understand core beliefs of the era of redemption, which we are currently experiencing.torah, shlomo katz, shirat david, geula, redemption, idf, Zionism, Israel

There was no one as sensitive to the giant souls of today like Rav Kook. In this class, we learned a piece from אורות התחיה, and with help from Rav Sasson, are able to understand the needs of today's generation.rav kook, rav sasson, idf, zionism, shlomo katz, shirat david, efrat

What type of the Torah are the future aliya Jews waiting for?aliya, torah, pnimiyus, shlomo katz, idf, zionism, shirat david, efrat

Once the soul taps into a situation that was created to awaken it from the slumber, a new world of freedom beginsshlomo katz, Israel, geula, redemption, Zionism, rav kook, shirat david, efrat

Any culture that attempts to distance one from hearing the cry of their own soul is a culture that will eventually fall. The question is, how long will it last?torah, shlomo katz, Israel, rav sasson, rav kook, moshe, efrat, shirat david

When Pharaoh senses we get in touch with our soul, which is eternal, free, and G-dly, he adds the workload to ensure we don't get too in touch with it.Where do we see this in our lives today?torah, Israel, am yisrael, rav sasson, rav kook, Zionism, shlomo katz, shirat david, efrat

Everyone wants feel real and authentic, but without discovering our true identity, there is not much one can do when it comes to being loyal to the self.eretz yisrael, rav sasson, rav kook, authenticity, shlomo katz, shirat david, efrat

The question of identity is not just a topic that has taken the world by storm, it is what the Jewish soul has been waiting to be addressed for thousands of years. Now, that we are home in Eretz Yisrael, it must be addressed in the most sensitive and powerful way.torah, zionism, israel, identity, zehut, shlomokatz, shirat david, efrat, rav sasson

Wanting something new, while admitting that you don't know exactly what that looks like is not a contradiction. It's a transition into a new realm of living. It may feel threatening, but it's the promising sound of redemption.

That which satiates our soul is never meant to be stagnant. Internalizing this is the key to understanding where we go form here in Eretz Yisrael.torah, rav sasson, idf, am yisrael, zionisim, hertzl, shlomo katz

What does a world void of truth tell us about the final stage of redemption?torah, truth, shlomo katz, rav sasson, rav k, geula, redemption

In order to receive all that G-d wants to shower upon us, we have to become healthy, strong, vibrant and excited again. Thanks to Eric Clapton and Dave Mathews, we find new ways to heal from the trauma of Galut.traumaecilgaluteric claptondave mathewsshlomo katzshirat davidefratgeulaidfam yisrael

To understand where we are in the current state of coming back home to Eretz Yisrael, we must look at the root of all redemptions, the process of getting the Egypt out of me once I left Egypt.

As we are hopefully entering the 2nd era of redemption, what type of clarity will we be experiencing?geularedemptionisraelrav kookshlomo katzshirat davidefrat

The time has come for us to define everything from scratch.When we say 'everything', it also includes all the good feeling moments we have felt until now.Not simple, but so worthwhile.Lema'an Shmo B'ahavamiracle, geula, redemption, torah, idf, am Yisrael, shlomo katz, shirat david, efrat

October, 2023A key piece of our victory will be the ability to stay focused, and not get confused.As I was thinking about what our learning should be like this week, week #4 of Milchemet Amalek, I was reminded that the learning we were doing before this all began is exactly where I would like us to pick up from.

The second stage of Geula is when the Ruach becomes infused with the body of Am Yisrael. The first part, ingathering of exiles, has most definitely begun. Where are with the second stage?

Based on the teachings of Rav Ruvain Sasson's Kumi Ori, we delved into Yechezkel Hanavi, to begin to internalize the prophecies we have begun to experience, and that which we are aiming to continue to fulfill.

In today's class, Rav Sasson teaches us a fundamental understanding of the process of Redemption. It is a G-dly process, not a human one.

In a world where almost anything is possible, the general calling of our generation knows better.

How would you best define the type of souls we are experiencing to spend this world with?

Based on Rav Kook's words, we learned of the proper preparation one must embark on, in order to understand, internalize and live in harmony with the times we are living in.

Coming back to Eretz Yisrael was the entry into a deeper layer of Torah observance, which is Torah experience. Our privilege this time around is to access and live all the dreams which 2000 years of Galut naturally minimized and shut off.torah, eretz yisrael, galut, Zionism, shlomo katz, rav kook, kumi ori, shirat david

Prophecy, Ruach Hakodesh, Kingship, Temple.. these are words that in the most ideal way, should be playing the greatest role in our awareness and consciousness of daily life in the holy land. In this class, we checked in with the reason we came back home in the first place.temple, galut, exile, eretz yisrael, rav kook, shlomo katz, shirat david, Israel, judaism

The young Jew who was met with the privilege, opportunity and responsibility to build Eretz Yisrael was met with a seeming contradiction. The torah he know of at the time, didn't blend with the light of the experience in his/her own life. Rav Kook saw this, and calls this out.rav kook, torah, Israel, rav sasson, Zionism, judea, shlomo katz, shirat david, efrat

After thousands of years in exile, the land itself has a demand form each and every one of us.torah, efrat, shirat david, ruvain sasson, rav kook, exile, Israel, holy land, shlomo katz

How do we learn? What do we learn?Our hearts are in the most fragile place.That's where we started, and BH that's where today's learning took us to.am yisrael, rav kook, torah, eretz yisrael, shlomo katz, shirat david

If we lost everything we had, both physically and spiritually, once we were exiled from our land, what has truly kept us going all these years?

The state we were in during the 1st Beit Hamikdash seemed to be so glorious and perfect. If that's the case, what went wrong? How could have the first Beit Hamikdash been destroyed?beit ham, holy temple, shechina, sasson, shlomo katz, shirat david, Efrat

The Ga'on of Vilna explains to us the process of death which took place over many years of the exile. When and how did the tables turn?

What was it like to wake up to a world, filled with G-d's presence, within an unconcealed reality? The Kuzari and Rav Kook filled our minds and heart with a clear description of such a world.shechina, beis hamikdash, torah, shlomo katz, shirat david, geula, redem

As Rav Ruvain Sasson so eloquently writes, the vision of the goal provides light and clarity. In order to be able to march toward redemption, there is an inherent need to know what we were, what we will be, and to admit to where we are right now.redemption, geula, mashiach, Israel, Jerusalem, shlomo katz, shirat david, efrat

What did 2000 years of exile do to our sense of imagination?kumi ori, sasson , shlomo katz, torah, israel, diaspora, exile, galut, geula, redemption, shirat david, efrat

Redemption restores us to the greatest and healthiest version of us. We seem to be on the way, but what still seems to be getting in the way? Based on the teachings of Rav Ruvain Sasson, we begin to explore these questions.light of redemptiontorahshlomo katzrevuanshiragalutexileredep
