weekly insights from the me’or eynayim (the light of the eyes)

12:30-1:30 PM ET on ZOOM
​
Upon publication of the Me’or Eynayim, R. Levi Yitzchak of Berdichev, the Kedushat Levi, said: “This is the day we have been hoping for! We have found and seen that which our soul loves!...It is my firm hope in YHWH that everyone who examines this holy writing will say: ‘Look! This is something new!’ May it be as sweet as cool water to the tired soul.”
The Me’or Eynayim is the work of R. Menachem Nachum Twersky of Chernobyl (1730-1797), a student of the Baal Shem Tov and the Maggid of Mezritch. Like the Kedushat Levi, he played a central part in spreading Hasidism in western Ukraine. His legacy continues until this day. Come learn the weekly portion with him, and gain spiritual and emotional strength from his profound insights.
