What Are You Doing this Sunday?

------advertisement------

I don’t make a habit of personally endorsing the products of my advertisers. Although I would never accept advertising that violates Halacha or contradicts my Hashkafos I do not demand that they clone my views. But thus far in almost every case I actually approve quite heartily of what has been advertised.

I was asked if I would do a personal endorsement of this 'product' and have decided to so because I truly think it's a great idea. These kinds of Shiurim usually are.

This coming Sunday, March 16, Web Yeshiva is having a day long series of Purim Shiurim. And it's a wonderful way to prepare for Purim. Especially since there is no charge. Let me repeat: It will run all day and is totally free.

This Yom Iyun for Purim features Rabbis Twersky, Brovender, Zuriel, Geller, Mrs. Saks, Mrs. Twersky, and more.

So go to their website, see the subjects, and register. You won't regret it!

My outlook on Judaism is based mostly on the teachings of my primary Rebbe, Rabbi Aaron Soloveichik from whom I received my rabbinic ordination. It is also based on a search for spiritual truth. Among the various sources that put me on the right path, two great philosophic works stand out: “Halakhic Man” and “Lonely Man of Faith” authored by the pre-eminent Jewish philosopher and theologian, Rabbi, Dr. Joseph B. Soloveitchik. Of great significance is Rabbi, Dr. Norman Lamm's conceptualization and models of Torah U’Mada and Dr. Eliezer Berkovits who introduced me to the world of philosophic thought. Among my early influences were two pioneers of American Elementary Torah Chinuch, Rabbis Shmuel Kaufman and Yaakov Levi. The Yeshivos I attended were Yeshivas Telshe for early high school and more significantly, the Hebrew Theological College where for a period of ten years, my Rebbeim included such great Rabbinic figures as Rabbis Mordechai Rogov, Shmaryahu Meltzer, Yaakov Perlow, Herzl Kaplan, and Selig Starr. I also attended Roosevelt University where I received my Bachelor's Degree - majoring in Psychology.
