Learning Geula – Details, episodes & analysis

Niggun ends and shiur begins at (9:40)

In this special episode, recorded amidst escalating tensions between Israel and Iran, Rav Shlomo shares raw, heartfelt Torah to help us spiritually anchor in these trying times.

From the bomb shelters of Ra’anana to the deep teachings of Rabbi Nachman and Reb Yitzchak Breiter, Rav Shlomo opens a window into the soul of Am Yisrael—our strength, our pain, and our unbreakable longing for redemption. He responds directly to those who don’t understand the eternal mission of the Jewish people, reframing suffering not as defeat, but as part of a matarah nitzchit, an eternal purpose.

What does real victory look like? Not a regime change in Tehran, but the rebuilding of the Beit HaMikdash and the return of Mashiach.

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 blend of the courage of David and the peace of Shlomo.

🔹 Why is the Beit HaMikdash still called “Beit David” even though Shlomo built it?
🔹 The Rebbe’s secret insight into the Rambam’s words: “מזרע דוד ומזרע שלמה”
🔹 How Mashiach will conquer the world not through war, but through tefillah
🔹 Why longing for redemption, even when we can’t complete the mission, changes everything

From David’s holy wars to Shlomo’s divine peace, we uncover how Mashiach will bring the world together, without even one gunshot. Just pure presence, love, and Emunah.

Is Mashiach in a state of sleep until he is chosen?

In order to understand King Mashiach's role post redemption, we have to go back to the Torah and understand why were reprimanded for the manner in which we initially asked for a king.
