About Discourses Of Rav Yosef Dov Halevi Soloveitchik On
Product Description Principally drawing from end-of-Shabbat lessons and discourses given by the Rabbi Yosef Dov Soloveitchik during his time in Boston, this compendium also includes Soloveitchik lectures from his tenure as the rabbi of Congregatino Moriah in Manhattan and his summer lecture series. Compiled by Rabbi Avishai David, a student of Soloveitchik’s, this collection serves as a comprehensive introduction to the thought of one of the great Talmudists of the 20th century, a man who drew from a vast reservoir of Jewish and general knowledge to bring Jewish thought and law to bear on the interpretation and assessment of the modern experience. Review Harav Avishai David who lives in Beit Shemesh is known as an outstanding Torah scholar and God fearing person. He learned under the tutelage of Rav Yosef Dov Halevi Soloveitchik z''l for a number of years and has compiled for publication essays of a homiletic, philosophic and exegetical nature on each of the Parshiyot of the Torah that he heard from the Rav (Rav Yosef Dov Halevi Soloveitchik). In the course of a summer visit to Eretz Yisroel, I reviewed a number of these essays and I enjoyed all that which I read. It is patently clear that the author was exceedingly careful to transmit the content utilizing the precise terminology of our Rebi. Certainly, the ideas are eminently worthy of publication since they represent the well known positions of our Rebi and were written with great precision. --Rabbi Hershel Schachter Rosh Yeshiva and Rosh Kollel, Yeshivat Rabbenu Yitzchak Elchanan, Yeshiva University It is with awe and trepidation that I write these words of recommendation for the compilation of Divrei Torat Harav zt''l on the Parshiyot Hashavua, authored by my dear friend Harav Avishai David Shlit''a. Awe, for the magnificent Divrei Torah recorded herein. Trepidation, for the Rav's words and ideas are words and ideas fit for a Malach Hashem, and we, his mortal students, shake with fearful emotion, lest they fall on our oftentimes deaf ears. The Rav's Divrei Torah are both profound and inspirational. They command us to respond with a deeper faith and with a stronger commitment to Torah. May the Almighty help us to respond fully to that charge so eloquently delivered. --Rabbi Hershel Reichman Rosh Yeshiva, Yeshivat Rabbenu Yitzchak Elchanan, Yeshiva University About the Author Rabbi Avishai C. David is a former student of Rabbi Yosef Soloveitchik’s. He is the rosh yeshiva, or dean, of Yeshivat Torat Shraga in Jerusalem, a post–high school yeshiva program for young men, as well as the rabbi of a synagogue in Beit Shemesh, Israel.
