20. How Did Rebbe Shimon Come into the World?

Episode 20

Tuesday, July 22, 2025 • Duration 42:05

Rebbe Shimon bar Yochai didn’t just appear—he arrived, against all odds, as a soul born of impossible tefillos and impossible beginnings. In this stirring Lag BaOmer teaching, Rav Shlomo Katz channels the fiery words of Rav Elimelech Biderman, uncovering how Rebbe Shimon’s birth was not just a moment in time but a statement from Heaven: Am Yisrael will never be dry wood.

From the shattered aftermath of Rebbe Akiva’s 24,000 talmidim to a single sapling watered by a righteous woman’s tears, this episode dives deep into the miracle of renewal. Because Lag BaOmer isn’t just a celebration. It’s a cry of defiance, a crown of hope, and the whisper that even when all seems lost, something holy is still being born.

10. Lag Ba'omer: Holiday of the Humble Ones

Episode 10

Tuesday, July 22, 2025 • Duration 37:54

In this soul-gentle teaching from the Chortkover Rebbe, Rav Shlomo Katz reveals the hidden healing of Lag Ba’Omer: a fire that humbles instead of burns. Through stories of tzaddikim and the senses they sanctified, what they saw, what they heard, we learn how Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai continues to refine us. This is the holiday of the quiet-hearted, the broken-open, the ones who long to become small before something so much greater. From the hills of Meron to the depths of the soul, this is Lag Ba’Omer: the day of the humble ones.

9. Meron Meets Uman | Rebbe Shimon & Rebbe Nachman

Episode 9

Tuesday, July 22, 2025 • Duration 43:18

What is the deep soul connection between Rashbi (Rebbe Shimon Bar Yochai) and Rebbe Nachman of Breslov? In this special Lag BaOmer session, Rav Shlomo Katz reveals the mystical bond that links Meron and Uman. We learn the profound story of Reb Avraham Sternhartz (Reb Nosson's great-grandson), who told his followers in 1936 that if they couldn't travel to Uman, Meron was the place to be.

Rav Shlomo opens the teachings of Reb Nosson and Rebbe Nachman to show how Rashbi guaranteed that the Torah would never be forgotten from Israel. We discover that Rebbe Nachman viewed himself as the continuation of that exact same fire, promising that his light would burn until Mashiach arrives. This episode is a beautiful celebration of the eternal, indestructible wellsprings of Torah.
