Over The Fire of the Aish Kodesh: Remembering the Piaseczner Rebbe with Rav Shlomo Katz

“The Fire of the Aish Kodesh: Remembering the Piaseczner Rebbe with Rav Shlomo Katz” is a moving collection of shiurim honoring the holy Aish Kodesh — Rav Kalonymus Kalman Shapira of Piaseczno, may Hashem avenge his blood (הי״ד). From within the darkness of the Warsaw Ghetto, the Rebbe’s Torah burned with unimaginable light, teaching how faith, courage, and love of Hashem can endure even in the shadow of destruction. Each year on his yahrzeit, Rav Shlomo Katz guides us into the Rebbe’s writings and spirit, bridging his words to the challenges and hopes of our own generation.

6. Thinking About Hashem’s Pain

When all is said and done, what can strengthen the Jewish heart? On the 80th yahrzeit of the Piaseczner Rebbe—the Aish Kodesh, HY”D—Rav Shlomo Katz learns his sefarim inside and brings them straight into our moment, days after Oct 7. The Rebbe gives us language for the dance we’re living: crying out to Hashem, and at times at Hashem, while refusing to sever the relationship. We explore the Piaseczner’s radical guidance to invite Hashem into our pain, to sense His pain with us, and how that awareness can “sweeten judgments” and open a door to revelation. This shiur also marks the crucial difference between then and now: we are not helpless; Am Yisrael is awake and acting. Rav Shlomo speaks about holy gevurah, teshuvah of clarity, and restoring the Jewish heart without going numb. If you’ve wondered how to daven, protest, and trust all at once, this is a tender, unsparing roadmap from the Rebbe’s words to our reality. Dedicated to the fallen and wounded of Am Yisrael, HY”D, and to those protecting us in body and spirit. May the Aish Kodesh be a melitz yosher for us all.

5. The Strength to Daven

“We suffered the toughest hit of our whole generation. We have never been stronger.” In the raw days after Oct 7, Rav Shlomo gathers the chevra to sing, weep, and find the strength to daven. Through niggunim (including the original “Oran” melody) and living Torah from the Piaseczner Rebbe—the Aish Kodesh, HY”D (may Hashem avenge his blood)—he speaks to the exhaustion, the waves of emotion, and the holy refusal to go numb. This shiur leans on the Rebbe’s teaching that pain itself can become Torah, and on Tehillim’s promise: “On the day I call, You answer me; You embolden my soul.” We hear why learning gives koach while doom-scrolling drains it; why documenting who we are now will strengthen who we’ll be later; and how Am Yisrael’s awakened heart is restoring courage to the world. Dedicated to the fallen and the wounded of Am Yisrael, HY”D, and to those protecting us on the front lines. May our tefillah grow stronger, and make us stronger, day after day.

4. What is the Aish Kodesh Telling Us Today?

In the days following the horrors of October 7th, Rav Shlomo Katz gathers with the chevra of Shirat David to ask: What is the Aish Kodesh telling us today? From the depths of the Warsaw Ghetto, Rav Kalonymus Kalman Shapira of Piaseczno, may Hashem avenge his blood (הי״ד), taught how to find Hashem within the fire — how to hear the Rebbe’s Torah even in a world turned upside down. In this shiur, Rav Shlomo reads the Aish Kodesh as prophecy for our moment: that our pain itself can become Torah, that faith born in suffering is the deepest kind of emunah, and that the Jewish soul can never be extinguished. As we face war, loss, and awakening, we discover that Hashem is still our Rebbe, teaching us, refining us, strengthening us,  through every unbearable chapter. This is not a lesson in history. It’s the Aish Kodesh speaking now.

3. One Piece of Heavenly Advice

If there was one piece of advice, spoken straight from the mouth of the Aish Kodesh — Rav Kalonymus Kalman Shapira of Piaseczno, may Hashem avenge his blood (הי״ד) — that we could hold on to for dear life, it might be this. On the Rebbe’s 78th yahrzeit, Rav Shlomo Katz opens the Aish Kodesh and Hakhsharat HaAvrechim to uncover the Piaseczner’s breathtaking understanding of the soul’s longing, pain, and ascent. We learn that when a tzaddik leaves this world, his tefillah changes perspective, his prayers align with Heaven itself, and that on his yahrzeit, those prayers still lift us upward. Through this lens, Rav Shlomo explores the Rebbe’s teaching that everything is already within us. Our work is simply to create the platform — the awareness — for the soul’s song to emerge. The Piaseczner warns against the temptation of emotional numbness, urging us instead to feel, to risk, to live with the full range of divine experience. From the depths of the Warsaw Ghetto to our own hearts today, this one piece of heavenly advice still whispers: Don’t silence your soul. Hear it sing.
