Rav Shlomo Katz and the women of Shirat David explore a profound teaching from the Lubavitcher Rebbe on Parshas Chukas. When Miriam and Aharon passed away, the Jewish people temporarily lost their miraculous well of water and protective clouds of glory.

The Rebbe explains that Moshe Rabbeinu had to step out of his own spiritual comfort zone and rein himself in (tzimtzum) to provide exactly what the people needed.

Rav Shlomo connects this to the Rebbe's own life—a deeply private man who sacrificed a quiet existence because he placed the needs of the generation above his own nature.

This episode challenges us all to awaken the spark of Moshe within ourselves, step away from asking what we need for our own spiritual growth, and dedicate this Gimmel Tammuz to asking: "What does the Jewish people need right now, and how can I provide it?"

Two stories. One Rebbe. A lifetime of inspiration.

On the 31st yahrzeit of the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rav Shlomo Katz shares two unforgettable true stories that illuminate the Rebbe’s ongoing presence in our lives—even decades after his physical passing.

One story takes us into a hospital corridor where a broken father meets a Lubavitcher chassid. The other unfolds at the Rebbe’s Ohel, where a self-proclaimed atheist pens a letter that changes everything.

May these stories give you strength, comfort, and clarity this Gimmel Tammuz.

In this brief but powerful Gimmel Tammuz teaching, Rav Shlomo shares a profound insight from the Lubavitcher Rebbe regarding the Rambam’s conclusion on the Parah Adumah (Red Heifer).

The Rebbe asks why the Rambam uncharacteristically included a prayer for Moshiach's speedy revelation at the end of a strictly halachic text. The Rebbe explains that this teaches us a vital lesson: whenever we learn about or even mention redemption, it cannot just be treated as history or a casual topic.

It must immediately awaken an intense, active hunger and a visceral cry for Moshiach in our daily lives
