What do King David and King Shlomo teach us about the soul of Mashiach?

Rav Shlomo Katz explores a powerful tension in the Torah: Why was David HaMelech, our greatest warrior and servant of Hashem, not allowed to build the Beit HaMikdash? And how is Mashiach, who must also fight great wars, able to build the Third Temple?

Drawing from the Rambam, the Lubavitcher Rebbe, and Chassidic masters, Rav Shlomo reveals that Mashiach will not be just a descendant of David, but also Zera Shlomo - a blend of the courage of David and the peace of Shlomo.

🔹 Why is the Beit HaMikdash still called “Beit David” even though Shlomo built it?
🔹 The Rebbe’s secret insight into the Rambam’s words: “מזרע דוד ומזרע שלמה”
🔹 How Mashiach will conquer the world not through war, but through tefillah
🔹 Why longing for redemption, even when we can’t complete the mission, changes everything

From David’s holy wars to Shlomo’s divine peace, we uncover how Mashiach will bring the world together, without even one gunshot. Just pure presence, love, and Emunah.
