The Power of Women’s Prayers with Rav Shlomo Katz

Rav Shlomo Katz

Join Rav Shlomo Katz in uncovering מעלת תפילת נשים—the unique spiritual power of a Jewish woman’s tefillah. Drawing from Chazal, halacha, and pnimiyut, and learning deeply from the Biala Rebbe’s "Zechut Nashim Tzidkaniyot", we explore why women’s hearts, rooted in רגש טהור (innate emotional purity) and holy bitul, move heaven and earth. Together we’ll clarify classic questions (time-bound mitzvot, obligation vs. essence), learn the siddur through the eyes of our sages, and translate inspiration

8. How Do I Know What Hashem Wants?

The Power of Women’s Prayers with Rav Shlomo Katz ·

2025/11/27

Rav Shlomo Katz and the women of Shirat David go straight into one of the biggest questions in avodas Hashem: How do I actually know what Hashem wants from me?Building on the Biala Rebbe’s Torah about tefilas nashim, we revisit the difference between time-bound mitzvos and those that aren’t, and what it means that women are p’turot from so many mitzvos aseh shehazman grama, yet so often choose to do far more than they’re technically obligated to. Through the story of Reb Pinchas ben Yair

7. A Woman's Candle Stays Lit Throughout the Night

2025/11/20

When Shlomo HaMelech says of the Eishes Chayil “לא יכבה בלילה נרה – her candle doesn’t go out at night,” what is that “candle” – and why does it make a woman’s tefillah so powerful?In this week’s Power of Women’s Prayers, Rav Shlomo Katz continues in the teachings of the Biala Rebbe on tefilas nashim and opens up the inner world of a woman’s everyday mesirus nefesh. From “ותתן טרף לביתה – she gives food to her household” to the sleepless worry of “לא יכבה בלילה נרה,” we learn how a woman’s

Rav Shlomo Katz and the women of Shirat David open a living doorway into תְּפִלַּת נָשִׁים (women’s prayer) and why holy masters refused to daven without a women’s section. With the Biale Rebbe, the Sar Shalom of Belz, and Reb Aharon of Belz, we hear a simple, searing standard: if the gates of prayer feel closed, we must lean on the gates of tears, which never close. And whose tears flow most readily? “נָשִׁים דִּמְעָתָן מְצוּיָה” (women’s tears are near at hand).We revisit רִבְקָה אִמֵּנוּ

5. The Gates that Women Open

Rav Shlomo Katz and the women of Shirat David lean into תפילת נשים (women’s prayer) and the secret of the gates that open through a woman’s heart. Building on כֹּחַ הַהַבְחָנָה (discerning what truly matters) sourced in בִּינָה יְתֵירָה (heightened inner understanding) embedded in the feminine dimension, we trace how the Matriarchs teach us to pray in a way that Heaven receives.With רִבְקָה אִמֵּנוּ (Rivka Imeinu) we revisit “לוֹ וְלֹא לָהּ” (answered to him, not to her) and the Chazal that

4. A Woman’s Ability to Detect Importance

The Power of Women’s Prayers with Rav Shlomo Katz ·

2025/10/30

Rav Shlomo Katz and the women of Shirat David open a tender gate into תפילת נשים: the gift of בינה יתירה—a woman’s inner knowing to separate עיקר (primary) from טפל (secondary). Returning to “לא תירא לביתה משלג כי כל ביתה לבוש שנים,” we hear how “snow” (the Amalek-cold that numbs holy feeling) is disarmed by a woman’s warm feeling for Hashem. With Sarah Imeinu and Rivka Imeinu as living guides, we learn how a mother’s כח הבחנה—her ability to detect what truly matters—clothes an entire home

Rav Shlomo Katz and the chevra of Shirat David open Eshet Chayil: “לא תירא לביתה משלג כי כל ביתה לבוש שנים.” With the Biala Rebbe and Rav Tzadok HaKohen, we uncover a luminous reading: “snow” is the klipah of Amalek that cools holy fire—not by stopping mitzvot, but by whispering that our avodah has no value. The Eishes Chayil does not fear that snow because her heart is warm with regesh for Hashem; she becomes the ma’amidah who lifts her entire home out of self-belittling and into holy

2025/09/11

Rav Shlomo Katz and the chevra of Shirat David learn from the Biala Rebbe’s Zechut Nashim Tzidkaniyot: what is the ma’alah of a Jewish mother, and why is the mitzvah of pru u’rvu placed on men rather than women?Through the words of Devorah HaNeviah—“ad shekamti Devorah, shekamti em b’Yisrael”—we discover that a mother’s greatness is not defined by obligation but by being the ma’amidah, the one who holds up the home and sustains the future of Am Yisrael. Chazal teach that davar ha’ma’amid is

1. The Innate Feminine Emotional Purity

The Power of Women’s Prayers with Rav Shlomo Katz ·

2025/09/05

Rav Shlomo Katz opens the series on the Power of Women's Prayer by naming a core truth: it’s a great mistake not to know our flaws—but an even greater mistake not to know our ma’alot. Women’s tefillah carries a singular gift—רגש טהור, a refined, honest heart that finds exact words before Hashem. From the Biala Rebbe’s teachings, we contrast outer “status” with inner worth, and we ask: what really counts in Shamayim? Why does a child’s pure cry uphold the world, and how much more so the
