It is not justified to violate halacha when helping someone become observant. However, kiruv involves many halachic issues which relate to lifnei iver (stumbling blocks), such as; how can we teach Torah to someone who has not recited birkas haTorah; can we give food to someone who will not recite a blessing on it; is it justified to cause someone to sin for the sake of outreach? Rav Berkovits offers novel conclusions to many important kiruv issues in this important class.

In our desire for more intense kedusha, we often take on extra chumros. They can be beautiful and uplifting but keep in mind, they are not halacha. How does one determine what is appropriate, what is overboard, and what may cause divisiveness or hard feelings? An important concept.

Shabbos is considered one of the two major signs that show one is connected to Hashem. But delving into the idea of the day leads us to question the suddenly shallow-sounding concepts we've accepted, including the understanding that Hashem rested, and that time became sanctified. A beautiful class on the symbolism of this day that encourages the belief that no matter how much evil and suffering we witness, history's close will be one of perfection and good.
