Berkovits, Rav Yitzchak on |
|
|||||
Rav Berkovits takes us to the point in time just before ours, the Achronim, and the disputes that arose in that era. His analysis of Chassidus and the opposition it faced leads into the enlightenment that swept Europe soon afterward. How did different communities deal with the mass defections that were taking place from traditional Judaism, and how did that affect certain key aspects of mesorah?
Rav Berkovits looks at the important subjects of how to choose a Rabbi. What is Kabbalah, and how does it affect Halacha? Often, newcomers to religious Judaism don't have customs to fall back on. How should one choose what to do? And no less important - when do we know we are ready to take on a more stringent approach? An excellent class on understanding individuality and how to fit ourselves into a comfortable niche.
Cheshbon hanefesh is about consistency. But like most everything else after the enthusiasm wears off it begins to fade - so why even begin? Rav Berkovits props us up by describing how the Yetzer Hara is out to weaken our resolve - especially when seeking to understand what makes us tick. Hear the rationalizations we use and ways to counter them.

In this classic series Rav Berkovits reads out the Shulchan Aruch and Rama and traces the topic back to its original sources in the Gemora and Rishonim. He then, with crystal clarity, brings the principle(s) forward to explain how the later Acharonim, the Mishna Brura and modern day poskim apply it to the current generation.
