Detailed Daf Overview - Project Likkutei TorahTorah Ohr Daf 56 - What can WE do that Avraham Avinu Couldn't? w/ Rabbi Dovid Leib Shmerling“Vaeirah el Avrham…”: Shaddai= the contemplation which leads to spiritual emotions (the Avos).

However, Moshe Rabbeinu embodied the quality of absolute bittul, which is why the Torah was given through him. Torah and Mi...2025-01-0832 min

Rabbi Moshe Kesselman Weekly ShiurimThe Burned Skull of King YehoyakimOn the skull of King Yehoyakim was written the words: זאת ועוד אחרת.
