    2. How Does One Cross the Narrow Bridge?

    Rav Shlomo Katz and the women of Shirat David take the most famous line in Breslov — “The whole world is a very narrow bridge” — and refuse to leave it as a slogan. Rav Shlomo asks the real question: How? How does a person actually cross the bridge without tipping into פחד… and without becoming anxious about their anxiety? Reb Nosson reveals something startling: the narrow bridge has a name. It’s called Emes. In this shiur we explore: Why the biggest מניעה isn’t your schedule — it’s meniat ha’moach (the mind’s endless chatter)The difference between “truth” as an idea, and truth as a lived conversation with HashemHow “gut feeling” can be holy… or can be קליפה — and how to clarify the differenceWhy Hashem’s “longing” is for one thing: dibburim shel emes — real words that come from where you actually areHow one honest word (“I’m confused,” “I’m scared,” “I’m stuck”) becomes a Mishkan, a place where Hashem can dwell — and illuminate the path----------For more Shuirim and Music from Rav Shlomo Katz, visit: https://ravshlomokatz.comJoin Rav Shlomo Katz's WhatsApp Community: https://chat.whatsapp.com/KHKOhhPaeHx5Kb74WL9L9a?mode=ems_copy_t CHAPTERS00:00 Opening and Sponsor Acknowledgments01:01 Rav Yitzchak Breiter’s Striking Statement02:12 The Narrow Bridge Song and le-hispached04:14 Introducing Likutei Moharan and Reb Noson07:16 Truth (Emes) as the Bridge09:24 The Brain as the Main Obstacle12:03 Emes as Guiding Light14:04 Trusting Your Gut and Inner Truth15:57 Reb Noson on Emes as Holy Bridge18:32 Two Levels of Truth Explained21:32 Ensuring Our Speech is True (Emet)23:00 God’s Desire to Dwell Within Us25:34 Different Views on Emet and Personal Relationship28:40 Choosing Information Sources and the Filter of Truth31:16 Online Influence, Mashpia, and Modern Spirituality32:52 Emet, Intentions, and the Role of Hishtadlut33:52 Overthinking vs Internal Emet and the Inner Filter40:44 Seeking Truthful Speech at the Shabbat Table43:23 Finding Your Own Dibur Shel Emet in Crisis46:13 Hisbodedus, Listening to Hashem, and Practical Steps49:02 Seeing Openings Within Darkness55:07 Finding Calm Amidst Lingering Questions56:16 Internal Transformation of Truth (Emet)57:29 Keeping Spiritual Insights Private58:39 Examining the Anshei Emet Across Generations

    1. I’m Not the Only Crazy One

    Rav Shlomo Katz and the women of Shirat David begin this new series with a spark from Uman — one of those moments you can’t fully explain, but you also can’t ignore. A return to Rebbe Nachman’s world, not as a “chassidishe vibe,” but as a remedy for our generation. Rav Shlomo shares why the older Breslover chassidim cried when asked, “Who is the Rebbe for you?”, and why Rebbe Nachman’s Torah speaks directly to anxiety, inner pressure, and the longing for yishuv hadaas. Then we learn Sichos HaRan 77:The world is filled with machlokes between nations, between neighbors, in the home, and even inside a person. And sometimes the most shocking place to feel the war… is when you’re finally alone. So why do we feel “meshuga”? Because we’re not one simple thing. We’re a whole world. Many “nations” inside, pulling in different directions. And the goal isn’t to deny it. The goal is to bring shalom into it. When you understand what’s happening inside you, you stop being ashamed of your complexity, and you finally get a direction for real avodah. ----------For more Shuirim and Music from Rav Shlomo Katz, visit: https://ravshlomokatz.comJoin Rav Shlomo Katz's WhatsApp Community: https://chat.whatsapp.com/KHKOhhPaeHx5Kb74WL9L9a?mode=ems_copy_t CHAPTERS00:00 Welcome and Sponsor Acknowledgments 02:43 Documentary on Rebbe and Emotional Impact 03:49 Older Breslover Chassidim and Their Passion 05:22 Personal Introduction via Rav Chaim Kramer 06:25 Travel Challenges to Uman Amid Conflict 09:36 Interpreting the “Not Going Whole Way” Statement 11:53 Shvikas Hamochin – Letting Intellect Go 13:45 Reb Yitzchak Breiter’s Uman Pilgrimage Story 18:06 Breiter’s Letter and Promise of Truth Differentiation 20:34 Uman’s Fragrance Amid Harsh Conditions 22:50 Reflection on Vanity After Spiritual Experience 25:12 Hashem’s Remedy Through the Great-Grandson of the Baal Shem Tov 28:02 Different Types of Chavruta – From Rabbis to… 29:33 Introducing Sichot HaRan Ayin Zayin – The Teaching… 35:02 Those Who Avoid Conflict – Why We’re Dragged In 46:04 Alone Time, Hisbodedus, and the Nations Within Us 49:46 Embracing the Whole World Within Us 50:56 Prayer Alone Isn’t Sufficient 52:43 Machlokes with Others Triggers Inner Conflict 54:31 You’re Not the Only One Crazy 55:56 Raw Material for Hitbodedut 58:08 Can One Be a Pure Servant of Hashem?
