Listen "The Torah of Lo Tira Leveita Mishaleg"
Episode Synopsis
                            Rav Shlomo Katz and the chevra of Shirat David open Eshet Chayil: “לא תירא לביתה משלג כי כל ביתה לבוש שנים.” With the Biala Rebbe and Rav Tzadok HaKohen, we uncover a luminous reading: “snow” is the klipah of Amalek that cools holy fire—not by stopping mitzvot, but by whispering that our avodah has no value.
The Eishes Chayil does not fear that snow because her heart is warm with regesh for Hashem; she becomes the ma’amidah who lifts her entire home out of self-belittling and into holy confidence (erech atzmi). When a woman knows her worth before Heaven, she “clothes” her family in warmth—shanim as scarlet, royalty, and living passion—and robs Amalek of his sword.
What you’ll hear:
Rav Tzadok’s two strategies of the yetzer: rebellion vs. “do it, but it’s nothing”
Why “snow” = Amalek’s cooling and how Lo Tira defeats it
Erech atzmi (holy self-worth) as the foundation of avodat Hashem—without pride
How a woman’s inner fire warms “kol beitah”—husband, children, and community
Reading Eshet Chayil as living guidance for Elul and the Yamim Nora’im
