Ultimate Trust in the One Above

About this episode

Rav Shlomo Katz explores the concept of ultimate trust in Hashem and its transformative effects on individuals.

This week in Hachana L’Shabbos , Rav Shlomo Katz and the chevra of Shirat David take us deeper into the “benching series” with a powerful focus on bitachon —what it really means to trust Hashem, and how that trust changes a person from the inside out. Starting from the words we sing and say so often— “Baruch HaGever asher yivtach baHashem” —we explore why the pasuk repeats itself, and how Chazal read that repetition as a map of ultimate trust : not just believing in Hashem, but letting Hashem become the only “support beam” you’re leaning on. Along the way we move through a sweeping set of sources—Midrash, Rav Pinchas of Koretz, the Maggid, Arugas HaBosem, Sfas Emes, and the Modzhitzer Rebbe—until we land on the real test Rav Shlomo keeps returning to: If your trust is real… does it make you more calm, more alive, and even more joyful—right now? ---------- For more Shuirim and Music from Rav Shlomo Katz, visit: https://ravshlomokatz.com Join Rav Shlomo Katz's WhatsApp Community: https://chat.whatsapp.com/KHKOhhPaeHx5Kb74WL9L9a?mode=ems_copy_t Chapters 00:00 Opening Nigun and Chant 05:40 Yizkor and Yahrzeits Introduction 07:09 Benching Depth and the Table of Gold 11:38 Midrash on…
