On Seder night, we don’t just tell the story of leaving Egypt. We repair what Egypt broke. Drawing from a powerful ma’amar of Rav Avraham Tzvi Kluger, this shiur reveals how the four cups of wine are part of a spiritual tikun that reaches back to the earliest cracks in humanity. From the generation of the flood to the sins of Cham, the raven, and the dog, something broke in how we saw ourselves. Pesach night gives us a chance to fix it. Rav Shlomo Katz walks us through this multi-generational he...

There’s a difference between leaving Egypt and crossing the sea . One takes you out of slavery. The other begins to teach you how to dream. In this powerful pre–Shevi’i shel Pesach shiur, Rav Shlomo Katz challenges us to look beyond survival. It’s not enough to escape exile. The question is: what now? What do we actually want from our lives, our Yiddishkeit, our future? Drawing from Rav Shlomo Carlebach, Rav Itchie Meir Morgenstern, personal stories, and a raw letter from a doctor during the ear...

It’s always there, sitting quietly on the Seder plate. A simple egg. But what’s it really doing there? Rav Shlomo Katz delves deeply into the soul of this mysterious symbol, following Rav Kluger's teachings. Why is the egg a sign of mourning, yet placed front and center on the night of redemption? Why does Tisha B’Av always fall out on the same night of the week as the Seder? What’s the deeper connection between exile and geulah, between heartbreak and hope? The egg whispers a hidden truth: Hash...

Why does the Torah call the night or le’arba’ah asar—“the light of the fourteenth”—when it’s clearly dark outside? What’s this night trying to tell us? Join Rav Shlomo Katz and enter the hidden world of the night before Pesach. With the voices of Reb Nosson of Breslov and R’ Shlomo Carlebach echoing through the room, we learn how this is not just a night of cleaning and checking. This is a night of transformation.

Seder night is the most prepared-for night of the year, and yet, somehow, the night we often feel least prepared for. That contradiction? It’s not a mistake. It’s the holy essence of the night itself. In this shiur, we explore the dance between hishtadlus and surrender, structure and surprise, longing and gratitude. With stories, soul, and laughter, Rav Shlomo takes us deep into the contradictions that define Pesach—from parenting to prayer, from planning sedarim to missing flights. Real freedom...

Before the splitting of the sea, before the ten commandments, came this. “HaChodesh HaZeh Lachem” —this month is yours. The first mitzvah ever given to Am Yisrael wasn’t about sacrifice or prayer. It was about time. About renewal. About not waiting . Even while still sunk in the depths of Mitzrayim, Hashem handed us the power to begin again. Rav Shlomo Katz draws from the holy words of the Chiddushei HaRim, the Beit Avraham, Rav Biderman, and the Shem MiShmuel, to explore what it means to claim ...

Chametz does not only mean something 'blown up', it also has to do with the concept of missed opportunities - להחמיץ הזדמנויות. On Seder night, an incredible opportunity becomes available for all those who are willing to stop for a second, take a look at the matza, and internalize the message. An opportunity, that is really not worth missing out on. pesach , seder , torah , passover , matza , shlomo katz , efrat...
