R' Tzadok explores the foundation of spiritual avoda and the path to greatness — not as the triumph of good over evil, but as a radical shift in consciousness. What does it mean to be a tzaddik and what is the beginning of this path?

We explore how daas — integrated, lived awareness of Hashem — serves as the true starting point of avodah. From the role of brachos as reality-shaping calibrators, to a piercing redefinition of Torah as the blueprint of existence, this shiur invites the listener to see everything — even the mundane — as an expression of Hashem’s Ratzon.

💡 Themes include:

• What truly defines a tzaddik
• Why bracha is not just praise, but a frame of reality
• The hidden dance of ratzo v’shov in spiritual growth
• The transformative power of daas elokei avicha
• Why the first word of every bracha — Atah — is everything

From relatable mashalim to profound insights, this shiur opens a door to a new way of thinking — and living — with Hashem.
