The war we’re in didn’t start on October 7th. It started with a mindset, and it could end with one too.
Join Rav Shlomo Katz in unpacking the prophetic and spiritual roots of Israel’s modern wars—1948, 1967, 1973, and today, through the eyes of Chazal and our greatest tzaddikim.
Drawing from the sefer Hilchot Milchama V’Shalom by Rav Shmuel Eliyahu, Rav Shlomo warns us of the mistake we made after the Six-Day War — believing we had succeeded by the “strength of our own hands”— and how that same spiritual arrogance led to the tragedies of Yom Kippur 1973 and Simchat Torah 2023.
But there’s a path forward. The secret weapon? Anavah (humility)—the awareness that all our strength comes from Hashem.
