Baal Haturim/Kli Yakar: The Mystery and the Message (Chumash)

This course on the Baal Haturim and the Kli Yakar is the third in the 4-part Chumash series highlighting different commentaries in each course. Each course was finely prepared to give the student an inspiring look at the persona of each commentary and an insight into the depth and meaning of their writing.

Studies In Rashi: Deep Simplicity (Chumash)

Rashi is one of the first and prime commentators on Chumash, holding a special place amongst the gallery of giants who have given us clarity and insight into the Torah.

Rashi’s comments are so inextricably interwoven with the Torah, that it is universally accepted that the starting point to understanding the Torah's intention, is to study Rashi's hand-in-hand with the verses. It is therefore appropriate that this course starts with understanding the structure, methodology, nuances, and layers of Rashi and howthese give us a greater awareness of the meaning and depth of the Torah.

Due to Rashi’s critical role in understanding the Torah, there are many super-commentaries who unpack the vision and meaning of Rashi. We will also examine what these luminaries bring to our appreciation of Rashi – the first teacher ofJewish students for over 900 years.

The Ramban: Foundations of Faith (Chumash)

Ramban presents us with a panoramic view of the Torah. Incisive examinations of Torah sections flow into profound explorations of the foundations of Judaism. P’shat and Medrash are coupled with innovative explanations of both the rationale and the benefits of theMitzvos. 

Here, for the first time, a wider readership was introduced to Kabbalistic explanations of the Torah.History is woven in touts fabric, the natural world a part of its canvas. Both lovingly respectful ofhis great predecessors and fiercely independent, the Ramban forged a unique path in Torah.In this course, you will walk that path and be enriched by its panoramic view.

Inyanna Shel Torah Hachasidus: In Search of the Essence

Chassidus is a soaring philosophy that addresses the most profound issues of G-d, man, nature, good and evil, the purpose of life, and traversing spiritual worlds. It is a fascinating intellectual pursuit that can delve into the most abstract and spiritual topics, yet also speaks to our human emotions and character development. It is deeply contemplative, yet a constant call to action. It is an inward-looking guide to our personal spiritual self-perfection and an outward-looking vehicle to perfecting the world.

Are all these contradictory qualities simply disjointed, unrelated features or are they somehow inter-related? Rabbi Fishman shows us how they are related, and how the power of these connections can enrich our lives.
