Why Are We Still Stuttering? | Shabbos HaGadol
Episode 23
Friday, 27 March, 2026
There are moments in history when the greatest miracle isn’t what we do… but how clearly we can say why we’re doing it.On the original Shabbos HaGadol, Bnei Yisrael didn’t just take the korban Pesach. They were asked by the Egyptians what they were doing… and they answered בלי גמגום. No hesitation. No confusion. Total clarity.This wasn’t just bravery. This was a miracle.In this deeply timely Hachana L’Shabbos, Rav Shlomo Katz and the chevra of Shirat David explore why Shabbos HaGadol is not named for the date, but for the day, and what that reveals about the כוח of Shabbos to transform who we are.From the teachings of the Ohev Yisrael, we learn that Shabbos is not just a day of rest. It’s the מקור הברכה, the place where a person becomes someone capable of דברים שלא חלמתי עליהם.And maybe the biggest avodah right now?To stop stuttering.To speak clearly, to our אויבים, to our children, and even to ourselves, about who we are and why we’re here.May this Shabbos give us the כח to live, to believe, and to speak… clearly.----------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_tCHAPTERS00:00 Opening niggun & reflection 02:54 Looking back at past Shabbos HaGadol06:33 Why it’s called Shabbos HaGadol14:08 Why the miracle is tied to Shabbos (not the date)17:17 The Ohev Yisrael on timing & כוח20:07 Shabbos HaGadol as a spiritual launchpad22:48 The role of drashos & speaking clearly
