Join Rav Shlomo Katz as we dive deep into one of the most vulnerable, explosive, and essential teachings of the Ishbitzer Rebbe: the yearning for a lev basar — a heart of flesh.

Why did Bnei Yisrael suddenly ask for meat in the desert, after witnessing the greatest miracles in history? Was it physical craving... or a spiritual cry to feel something again?

Drawing from the teachings of Rav Shlomo Carlebach, the Ishbitzer Rebbe, and the prophetic vision of the Messianic era, Rav Shlomo challenges us to ask: Are we strong because we're tough, or are we strong because we're soft? What does it mean to be a Jew with a heart that feels — even when it hurts?

In this shiur:

  • Why the complaint for “meat” was really a cry for inner life
  • What it truly means to serve Hashem with a lev basar — a heart that feels
  • How leadership, vulnerability, and humility go hand in hand
