In one of the most hidden episodes of the Torah, Parshat Balak reveals a dimension of Hashem’s love that we never even knew was happening. Am Yisrael was entirely unaware while curses were being transformed into blessings, because Hashem simply refused to hear anything negative about His people.

Rav Shlomo Katz and the chevra of Shirat David take us deep into the teachings of the Izhbitzer and Chazal, showing how the story of Bilam, the story of Iyov, and the Five Books of the Torah form a complete spiritual picture: what we feel when Hashem seems absent, and what Hashem feels when we seem absent. The answer? He’s always thinking about us.

A perfect entry into the Three Weeks with clarity and compassion.

What happens when the well of connection dries up?

Join Rav Shlomo Katz and the Chevra of Shirat David as they explore the mysterious link between Miriam HaNeviah and the life-giving waters that sustained Am Yisrael in the desert. Why did the water cease with her passing? What does it mean to “taste infinity” in a mitzvah, a relationship, or even a single word of Torah?

From perfectionism in spirituality to the infinite power of a single drop of water, this shiur travels from Moshe’s grief to Miriam’s unique essence of chibur—connection. Through Chassidic stories, deep Torah from the Ba’er Miriam, and insights into emotional resilience, we are reminded that it’s not how “perfectly” we live, but how connected we remain—especially through our mistakes.

Topics include:

• The danger of spiritual perfectionism
• How a mitzvah touches infinity
• Why the Jewish soul is rooted in the mother
• The ongoing journey of Miriam’s well
• What it means to be holy… but not connected

A must-listen for anyone longing for depth, gentleness, and reconnection.
