What do King David and King Shlomo teach us about the soul of Mashiach?Rav Shlomo Katz explores a powerful tension in the Torah: Why was David HaMelech, our greatest warrior and servant of Hashem, not allowed to build the Beit HaMikdash? And how is Mashiach, who must also fight great wars, able to build the Third Temple?Drawing from the Rambam, the Lubavitcher Rebbe, and Chassidic masters, Rav Shlomo reveals that Mashiach will not be just a descendant of David, but also Zera Shlomo - a

Rav Shlomo Katz dives deep into the Chassidic understanding of Geulah (redemption), explaining how the teachings of the Baal Shem Tov and other tzaddikim reveal the hidden essence of reality. It's already here, just waiting to be uncovered. Drawing from the Alter Rebbe, Rashbi, and the Vitebsker Rebbe, we explore how Chassidus helps us build the spiritual vessels to live with Mashiach-consciousness now.

We daven for Mashiach every day. We say the words. We hope it's near.But what are we actually waiting for? What will change in the days of Mashiach and what will stay exactly the same? What does life look like in a world filled with emunah, clarity, and Geulah?This shiur explores the teachings of Chazal, Rambam, and classic Torah sources on Yemot HaMashiach. We explore how this is not a new reality, but the world we know, restored to what it was always meant to be.. A world where Hashem’s

Rav Shlomo Katz unpacks the mystery of Gog U’Magog — the war that Chazal and the prophets call the final confrontation before Geula. Through the words of Yechezkel and Zechariah, he explores how this “war” may already be unfolding in spiritual and moral dimensions — refining Am Yisrael, revealing Hashem’s justice, and awakening the world’s awareness of His oneness.

Rav Shlomo explores the sources on where Mashiach’s revelation begins—Yerushalayim, the Galil, or even outside of Israel—weaving Rambam and Chazal with the idea that redemption may unfold in phases. The takeaway: don’t get stuck on the map; strengthen tefillah and achdut so that wherever it starts, we’re ready to walk it home.

Rav Shlomo Katz walks through classic sources—especially the Rambam—asking whether Mashiach’s revelation unfolds as open miracles or through a natural process that becomes wondrous later. Along the way, he shows how our avodah and merit can tilt the path of Geula, inviting us to live as partners in its unfolding.

What does the creation story teach us about our partnership with God?In this episode, Zvi Hirschfield and Aviva Lauer explore Parshat Bereshit and what the creation story reveals about humanity’s relationship with God. They discuss how rain, prayer, and work symbolize dependence, gratitude, and partnership—and how the Torah calls us to balance effort with humility. Drawing on Midrash and Talmud, they contrast Rabbi Eliezer’s demand for precision with Rabbi Akiva’s compassion, uncovering a vision
