Kumi Ori: Living the Redemption with Rav Shlomo Katz

October, 2023
A 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.

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.

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.
