The secret to fixing the State of Israel? It’s right at the beginning of the Torah.

Rav Shlomo Katz takes us into the first day of Creation, into the verses we’ve all read a thousand times, but maybe never really seen. What emerges is the spiritual roadmap for geulah: separation, clarity, and the courage to define light and darkness—not in theory, but in our actual lived reality.

Rav Ginsburgh’s Torah reminds us: the chaos of modern Israel isn’t random. Like the pre-light fog of tohu vavohu, we are in the “gray zone,” where light and darkness are mixed, undefined, blurred. From 1945 to 1948, from Zionism’s hopeful dream to the confused present, the only way forward is through havdalah, through giving each force its name, its boundary, its purpose.

This teaching is about loving the State enough to fix it. And it’s about becoming partners with Hashem in the act of creation itself—starting again from day one.
