Rav Shlomo Katz on the Parsha

Nitzavim: Which Mitzvah Is Closest To Me?


Listen Later

"It is not in Heaven... it is very close to you." What specific Mitzvah is the Torah referring to?

Rav Shlomo Katz explores the classic debate between Rashi (who says it is Torah study) and the Ramban (who says it is Teshuvah). We dive into the Vilna Gaon's view on the infinite value of a single letter of Torah, and Rav Kook's profound insight into why Teshuvah is simultaneously the easiest and the hardest commandment.

Rav Shlomo connects this to the concept of Kiddushin (marriage), where a person can become righteous in a single split second of thought. 

This episode encourages us to stop viewing spirituality as distant and impossible, and to realize that the key to return is already in our mouths and hearts.
