Rav Shlomo Katz and the women of Shirat David go deeper into the midah of Emet, and ask the honest question: why does truth sometimes feel… scary?

Rav Shlomo walks us through Rav Nosson’s powerful yesod: when a person “girds themselves for war” for truth, they’re already called victorious, even with the smallest movement forward. We talk about the yetzer hara’s trap of “all-or-nothing,” how tiny moments of אמת create eternal ניצחונות, and the difference between Emet and Emet La’amito — the truth that doesn’t crush you, but actually opens you up.

And then the big revelation: the sitra achra can weaponize “truth” to drag a person into despair. Rav Nosson teaches us the real אמת לאמיתו: אין שום יאוש בעולם כלל — no matter where you’ve been, no matter how many times you’ve fallen, Hashem is not “there”… He is hineka — right here.

If you’ve ever felt stuck, ashamed, overwhelmed, or “too far gone,” this shiur is a hug and a fire at the same time — calling you back to one simple thing: say one real word to Hashem… and let that word become your bridge.
