A Lizhensk Body Image

Episode 7

Monday, March 9, 2026 • Duration 01:23

When the Noam Elimelech washed his face, he wasn’t just getting ready for the day. He was polishing the Tzelem Elokim, the image of God. What if we saw every part of our body that way? What if the mirror wasn’t a source of judgment, but of holiness?

What would it mean to care for your body as part of something divine?

The Noam Elimelech's Dream

Episode 6

Monday, March 9, 2026 • Duration 02:15

Reb Elimelech of Lizhensk saw the third Beis HaMikdash being built. But something didn’t sit right. The chaos, the inefficiency, the crowding.

So he asked one of the workers why it wasn’t done in a simpler way.

The answer he got made him look at the whole thing differently. What if the most important part of rebuilding isn’t how strong we are, but that we all get to carry something?

The Noam Elimelech's Fast

Episode 5

Monday, March 9, 2026 • Duration 01:36

Reb Elimelech was fasting—three days without food, without sleep, trying to stop the decree looming over his people.

Then he saw his Rebbe, the Maggid of Mezritch, in a dream. And what the Maggid told him… well, it left him with more questions than answers.

The Reward for the Torture of Being In This World

Episode 4

Monday, March 9, 2026 • Duration 29:06

In this deeply moving shiur, Rav Shlomo Katz delves into the profound and often intimidating teachings of the holy Noam Elimelech.

Exploring the true meaning behind the "reward" for observing Torah and Mitzvos, Rav Katz challenges our conventional understanding of spiritual success. Are we only rewarded for the good deeds we actively accomplish, or is there a profound spiritual elevation in simply fighting the exhausting daily war against our Yetzer Hara (evil inclination)?

Using a powerful, real-life story of a musician struggling with addiction in a recording studio, Rav Shlomo illustrates how the grueling, agonizing effort to resist temptation is highly cherished in heaven. Even when we feel we have run out of "hacks and tricks" to fight our battles, the very pain and "torture" we experience in avoiding sin sanctifies and purifies us as if we had actively performed a great Mitzvah.

The shiur reveals that in the World to Come, we will be shown a "videotape" not just of our accomplishments, but of the intense inner struggles and the sheer pain we endured to refrain from spiritual pitfalls.

Today's Heart Pouring: The Noam Elimelech's Tefila

Episode 3

Monday, March 9, 2026 • Duration 05:48

In this brief and deeply stirring musical meditation, Rav Shlomo Katz leads us in a soulful rendition of the holy words of the Noam Elimelech. This episode acts as an emotional gateway into the Rebbe's world of light and love. Accompanied by the timeless melody of Aderaba, Rav Shlomo pours his heart out, translating and singing the Noam Elimelech's famous plea: "Place into our hearts that each of us should see the virtues of our friends, and not their shortcomings.".

This short clip is a perfect daily reminder to remove hatred from our hearts, strengthen our love for Hashem, and strive to bring true nachas (spiritual pride and joy) to our Creator.

When Hating is the Only Unifier

Episode 2

Monday, March 9, 2026 • Duration 37:53

Why does the Mishna describe the dispute as "Korach and his Congregation" rather than "Korach and Moshe"?

Rav Shlomo Katz explores the anatomy of a fake argument versus a holy disagreement. Drawing on the Noam Elimelech and the Malbim, we uncover the dirty secret of Korach's rebellion: there was absolutely no unity within his own camp.

We learn that while Hillel and Shammai loved each other despite their differences, Korach, Datan, Aviram, and the 250 princes all had different, selfish agendas, united only by a common hatred of Moshe.

This episode is a crucial guide to spotting "Red-Green Alliances"—political or social movements that seem unified but are actually fractured by self-interest and hate.

The Story of the Noam Elimelech's Tefila BEFORE Tefila

Episode 1

Monday, March 9, 2026 • Duration 01:04:17

Recorded on the Yahrzeit of the holy Noam Elimelech (Rebbe Elimelech of Lizhensk), Rav Shlomo Katz takes listeners on a comprehensive journey into the Rebbe's mysterious and transcendent life.

The focal point of this shiur is the Noam Elimelech's famous Tefila Kodem Tefila (The Prayer Before Praying). Rav Katz shares a breathtaking story recorded by the Saba Kadisha of Radoshitz: The Noam Elimelech initially intended to completely rewrite the daily Siddur (prayer book) to make it shorter and easier for struggling, working Jews to concentrate. However, he was visited by unusually tall, mysterious men—the ancient Anshei Knesses Hagedolah (Men of the Great Assembly)—who begged him not to alter their original formulation, prompting him to instead write his powerful preparatory prayer.

Rav Shlomo goes line-by-line through this incredible prayer, dissecting our desperate pleas to Hashem to clear our minds, grant us Emuna (faith that Hashem believes in us), and remove the constant barriers the Yetzer Hara places in our way when we try to be holy. The shiur culminates in the beautiful concept of Aderaba—begging Hashem to help us only see the good and the inner virtues of our friends, rather than their flaws
