Chochmah begins with the recognition of the one and only authority over my life, and it feels so good.

Rav Shlomo Katz and the chevra of Shirat David enter the world of Chochmah—the soul’s first awakening, the electric moment of truth that says: “I want the Torah to guide every part of my life.” And not just my personal life, but our life as a people.

Rav Ginsburgh’s words land with seismic clarity: every attempt to compromise between Torah and the values of secular democracy has led to pain, confusion, and loss. We revisit moments of national trauma—not to wallow, but to wake up. The soldier following orders. The leader choosing politics over emes. The Jew torn between conscience and command.

And through it all, one seed must be planted deep in the soil of our land: The Torah is the only true authority of the Jewish people.
