Rav Shlomo Katz delves into the complex nekama of Shimon and Levi, exploring Yaakov’s curse not of their act, but of their anger-driven motive. While their defense of Dinah was a mitzvah, its root in ka’as (anger) rather than Kiddush Hashem reveals the peril of misguided zeal.
Amid the ongoing war and unidentifiable victims post-October 7, 2023, this episode urges Jews to channel nekama through love for Hashem and Am Yisrael, rejecting foreign illusions to awaken from the galut coma and restore divine justice.
