Each year, on the yahrzeit of Reb Shlomo Carlebach zt”l, Rav Shlomo Katz gathers to sing, learn, and remember the light that Reb Shlomo brought into the world. This collection brings together teachings and stories shared over the years — reflections on the soul of song, the power of love, and the endless invitation to come closer to Hashem through music and heart. Revisit the melodies, Torah, and spirit of the man who taught us to believe in the holiness of every Jew, and to never stop singing.

When Nazi occupiers arrived in Greece in 1941, it was the beginning of a horror that would reverberate through generations. In the city of Salonica (Thessaloniki), almost 50,000 Jews were sent to Nazi concentration camps during the war, and only 2,000 returned. A Jewish doctor named Isaac Matarasso and his son escaped imprisonment and torture at the hands of the Nazis and joined the resistance. After the city’s liberation they returned to rebuild Salonica and, along with the other survivors, to grapple with the near-total destruction of their community.

“The Fire of the Aish Kodesh: Remembering the Piaseczner Rebbe with Rav Shlomo Katz” is a moving collection of shiurim honoring the holy Aish Kodesh — Rav Kalonymus Kalman Shapira of Piaseczno, may Hashem avenge his blood (הי״ד). From within the darkness of the Warsaw Ghetto, the Rebbe’s Torah burned with unimaginable light, teaching how faith, courage, and love of Hashem can endure even in the shadow of destruction. Each year on his yahrzeit, Rav Shlomo Katz guides us into the Rebbe’s writings and spirit, bridging his words to the challenges and hopes of our own generation.
