Rav Shlomo Katz on the Parsha

Ki Teitze: Who Can Go Out To Fight?


Listen Later

What is the difference between an external battle and an internal struggle?

 In this profound session, Rav Shlomo Katz explores the opening verse: "When you go out to war against your enemies." Drawing on the Tanya and the concept of Brit (Covenant) from Rabbi Yitzchak Ginsburgh, we learn that a person cannot truly conquer the "world" until they have settled the internal war of "Am I really sure?"

Rav Shlomo discusses the debilitating nature of doubt (Amalek) and shares a personal encounter on a plane regarding a Persian Jew who lived with the simple clarity: "We have a Covenant." 

This episode is a call to move beyond the exhausting daily decision-making of faith and to enter a "Brit"—a state where our commitment to Hashem is locked in, allowing us to finally go out and shine.
