11. Hanan Ben Ari & Rav Shlomo Katz Remember Reb Shlomo Carlebach | 31st Yahrtzeit

10. When No One Else Exists | Parshat Vayera (Reb Shlomo's 30th Yarhzeit)

In honor of the 30th Yahrzeit of Reb Shlomo Carlebach, Rav Shlomo Katz opens a "hidden" transcript from a teaching Reb Shlomo gave in Montreal in 1993 This deep and emotional shiur tackles the concept of the Ilana D'Sfeika (Tree of Doubt) mentioned in the Zohar. We explore why the Torah omits Avraham's name at the moment of revelation ("And God appeared to him"), explaining that in a moment of true intimacy, names and definitions vanish because no one else exists. Rav Shlomo weaves in the Izhbitzer Rebbe's insights on the difference between "forcing" oneself to do mitzvos versus serving Hashem naturally through the Covenant. We also discuss Rav Kook's "Second Function"—the necessity of having a private relationship with Hashem that the world never sees. This episode is a call to move beyond the doubt of "does what I do matter?" and step into a clarity where our relationship with Hashem illuminates the entire world.  --------------------------------------------------------------------------------  For more Shuirim and Music from Rav Shlomo Katz, visit: https://ravshlomokatz.com Join Rav Shlomo Katz's WhatsApp Community: https://chat.whatsapp.com/KHKOhhPaeHx5Kb74WL9L9a?mode=ems_copy_t

9. The Stories and Torah Behind the Niggunim

In this special yahrzeit gathering, Rav Shlomo Katz opens the gates to Reb Shlomo Carlebach’s world of song — not just the melodies, but the Torah, tears, and miracles behind them. From the first niggun ever composed to the ones born at the Kotel, in dreams, or by a hospital bedside, each melody carries a story, a soul, and a piece of Am Yisrael’s heart. Rav Shlomo weaves together Reb Shlomo’s own words about music — “a niggun comes by heavenly Federal Express” — with live renditions and breathtaking tales: a song dreamt in Paris that made the streets dance, another born from the heartbreak of war, another from the depths of yearning in Yerushalayim at 2 a.m. Every story, every note, every sigh is an invitation to remember what music was always meant to be: a way home.

8. A Conversation with Reb Shlomo’s Daughter — Dari Carlebach

On the 26th yahrzeit of Rabbi Shlomo Carlebach zt”l, Rav Shlomo Katz sits down with his daughter Dari Carlebach for a tender and unforgettable conversation. With warmth, laughter, and tears, Dari shares what it was really like growing up as Reb Shlomo’s daughter — how his stories, his sight, and his endless giving continue to shape her life and the world.  She tells of miracles that still unfold, like the night she was mysteriously guided to help a stranded group of yeshiva boys, an encounter that felt like her father himself was leading her car. It’s an encounter with the living legacy of Reb Shlomo — his ability to see the light in everyone, to give without end, and to remind us that the greatest miracle is opening the gates for someone else.
