Preparing for Shavuot with a Broken Heart

The Rizhiner Rebbe reveals a surprising path to Kabbalat HaTorah: not through perfection, but through a broken heart. Rav Shlomo Katz teaches that even if we haven’t prepared the way we hoped, there’s still a way in: by being real about where we are and letting that move us. That honesty is the clearest vessel to receive the Torah.
